This Camillus jigging is pretty nice.
John that looks like a 3 line tang stamp probably WWI knife. I don't know for sure when Rogers bone became the bone of choice for Camillus but that one may pre-date that transition. A great old knife to be sure! ::tu::

Thank you Greg, this one is interesting in that it has a 4 line on the main blade, apparently Camillus was known to use up old blades so maybe a reason for the curved stamp pen.

Thanks Royal, danno, Woodwalker, doglegg. Appreciate it always and glad you like. Bone is one of my favorites and ivoryman sounds better and is less likely to offend than Boneman I guess. Might be taken the wrong way.
