Re: camillus #72
Greg, I agree with Tommy. Awesome collection of short lines. And what a bargain on the latest member. That's what I'd like to shoot for - a small collection of nothing but short line in bone. I wonder if all short line bone is Rogers? Who's your repair guy...Dale?

Re: camillus #72
Here's one I just bought. It may be a herring in disguise or a trick of the lighting but when I looked at this long line 72 I swear I see a double sided sabre ground master blade. All you hawk eyed experts please confirm my suspicion or bring it crashing to the ground.

Re: camillus #72
Good eye my friend. Saber ground on both sides of the main blade. Blades have little to no loss. Really good "Brownstag" handles (that brown synthetic used from mid 1950s - mid 1960s). You have yourself a winner.

Re: camillus #72
I need to go through them again but I think I only have one long line with both sides saber ground and I'm pretty sure it's a 1047 Scout.

Re: camillus #72
Tommy had one of those. He gave it to me (thank you Tommy). I knew he's generous but I didn't know he's that generous.
He wants $379.95 with no Make An Offer and he still wants $7.95 shipping. Sheesh
