Picked up 3 short lines in the past couple weeks .
#40 Congress ( Camillus did not call it a half Congress in there literature) 3 7/16 long ( closed) a sheepfoot and pen blade . The bone covers are in great shape,in the sunlight can’t see anything wrong with the bone . Both blades have half stop and are function properly.
#72. Been used and sharpened a lot. Nice bone . Half stop on blade opposite main . What do you think the secondary blades are? A pen and spear originally? Would you consider it a first gen or did they all have coping blade opposite the main ?
#73 . This one came from Steve ( knifeaholic ) . Made offer that thought was reasonable and it made its way to the short line pile . He’s got a few more old Camillus that might have to pursue . This one seems harder to find and when One shows up they’re usually wore out . This one has been used and needed a little TLC and oil and will now go into the pile . Camillus calls it a Cattle knife 3 5/8 long closed Clip, Spey and Spiral punch . Maize Pyroxylin covers .
Have 18 shorties now, only about 50 more to go!
Have a good one ,stay safe out there .
Wow
some mighty fine additions to the short line pile there JP !

Here’s the latest and last short line of the year model #66 . It’s a bit worn but cheap and will do for now and will add it to the short line pile . It’s solid yet and will occasionally slide it in the pocket .
Big Thanks to all here ,especially the Camillus Crew and all your support and guidance over the year .
Let’s make the best of the upcoming year there’s a lot more to accomplish yet
Happy New Year

Today, this pocket knife arrived and joined my CAMILLUS collection. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 1st generation, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, two tang stamps (a short line maker tang stamp & a pattern # tang stamp), "whittler" pocket knife.
I gave it a VERY minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Here is a piece from a local cutlery store. It is marked as a "Vietnam era paratrooper knife". I have not seen a paratrooper knife with a Short-Line tang stamp before.

I did not get it,
