Close up of the Olsen OK 107 for those who have not seen one. Same size and pattern as the Camillus 72. I am not sure as to the time frame of these.

Given the plain pull and lack of (visible) bolster pins, (plus the color and jigging of the handles) I feel fairly comfortable saying that iteration of the Olsen OK was made by Schrade.

Nothing wrong with your old eyes, the Olsen coping blade is wider than the Camillus.

A 72 I used to own but sold it on eBay a few years ago. After reading this thread it is a Generation One. Always regretted selling it.
Other than a couple of rubs on the blades it was mint.

The sought after and finally found Camillus Rimfire Classic LR 6 came today. Not a fancy knife but one that caught my eye as it blends two things I really enjoy. And it is a 72.

Thanks Greg, that is quiet a line up you have. Some of them look brand new. An all look good. Is the chorus line dancing to 'Mac the knife'?

Greg it won't be long and you will be counting them by weight.
Nice lot of 72's and you must have cornered the market on first generations.
I don't have the Sacramento River in my collection.

Well Grant I told myself I would quit at ten so there they are. Still don't have a dead mint one though so that may not hold.
That Sacremento River was one of a series made for the outdoor store Orvis.
