Just picked up this pre 72. It's tang stamp is "Forged in USA", I think it is probably one made by Camillus for Sears. Seller on ebay had a price that I thought was a little high so I made him an offer and he accepted. Thanks for looking. ::handshake::

Not a true split spring but it is 2 springs with a tapered brass wedge between. Thanks. ::nod::

Got a couple of 2nd generation 72's this past week. The black one from knifegnome's store and the 2nd one out of the bay. I sure enjoy these older ones.
