Hi Guys,
What can you tell me about this Camillus?
Stag handles. Brass liners. Made circa 1946-56 ( 3 line tang stamp, Camillus not underlined)

What model is it and what do you think the value is?

Thanks.......Bruno

Well obviously rehandled so the cost of the stag handles plus $20 for a good user. No collector value.i think that was pattern #99 scout/utility.

Right you are. I would just sharpen it up and put it in my pocket as a user.

Thanks for the replies. I don't own this knife. It came in to our store and was purchased with other items. I've never seen a Camillus 99 with stag handles so I though it might have been a special run. Whoever did the re-handle did a great job.

Tommy, that tang stamp is right as rain. It just looks "off" to you because it's one of the "seldom seen" tang stamps.

Doodle Froodle had one on ebay last night with that tang stamp. I bid $65 and got outbid.
