Need Info Cub Scout Knife

[DR_MAGOO]

Found this Camillus Cub Scout Knife last week. Can anyone provide any information? Approximate age?

Thanks

Based on the tang stamp looks like 1960 to 1976.

Thanks, I had no ideal.

I agree, here is my personal cub scout knife from the very early 60's. Also my Boy Scout knife, and my Dad's Boy Scout knife.

Treejakal I'm amazed you still have your Cub Scout knife and Boy Scout knife and your dads Boy Scout knife. You're so fortunate to have them.

[Treejakal]

Thanks Philco I can't believe I almost sold them a few years back. Its a good thing they didn't have much monetary value cause I might have done it. I made the mistake of selling my dad's guns and regret it to this day.

The blue handle and gold shield may be a key to narrow the date range but I'm not certain. That knife appears in the 1972 and 1973 Camillus catalog.

Are you referring to mine or Treejakal?
Thanks

Mine is Blue with Gold Shield, I was born in 1952. I'm not sure the age of cub scouts, but I know that I wasn't one at age 20. I am guessing early 60's.

Most of the earlier catalogs are in black and white so it's hard to see when they originated. Maybe Tommy or Jerryd know for certain.
