Camillus with no pattern number
I can't find the pattern number for this stainless 3 3/8" stockman. It has the "60-'75 stamp and is a advertising knife for MoorMans, as that is etched on the clip blade. The spay has an etch on both sides, FOR FLESH ONLY and the other, RAZOR EDGE STAINLESS/PAT PENDING. The handles are made to look like stag with a Federal shield melted into the mark side. I suppose they are made of Delrin.
Where does this on fit in the line up?

Re: Camillus with no pattern number
Philip, I lightened up the picture a bit and discovered those handles are what Camillus called Indian Stag®. Indian Stag® was introduced in about 1973 on the Prestige Line. Of course that doesn't help you with the pattern number but it gives you a push in the right direction.

Re: Camillus with no pattern number
It looks like Camco 771 and is not like Indian Stag

Re: Camillus with no pattern number
Jerry, I got to thinking about what Vit said and I believe he's right about the "Indian Stag". My knife's "fake stag" is a totally different pattern.
I have a Sword Brand muskrat that Dale had replaced the blades that is covered with the "Indian Stag". Here is a picture that shows the difference in the handle style: Vit, I looked up Camco 771 and it is the same size but it shows a pen blade where this Camillus has a spay so it must fall in the "stockman" category.
Thanks for the interest, maybe we'll have a pattern number on day.

Re: Camillus with no pattern number
I was looking at the Camillus catalogs last night; I can find plenty of 3-3/8" stockman but most have a clip blade, not the California or Turkish clip blade.
I find plenty of knives with those handles in the 1970s, but they have the clip blades.
That blade style seems to be more prevelant in the Camco line.
Maybe the knife is a SFO, and not just a catalog pattern that was etched for Moor Man's
