Opps..... I posted this one in the #72 thread.
This is a restored Camillus 1047. I put some new scales on it. It was an almost UNUSED knife..... I guess the scales just fell off or something.
Anyway, Some of y'all have already seen it in the wrong thread but just for posterity.... here she is.
Camillus 1047 with new scales and no shield.

It's a fine looking restoration, no matter where it's posted.

I just picked up this CAMILLUS 72 variation for best offer. It is a CAMILLUS 1047, federal style shield, 3 blade, scouting "whittler" pocket knife. Physically, it looks good. Cosmetically, it looks like it could use a light cleaning. When I get it, I'll check it out. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Excellent find skip!

Thank you Mike.

What I like also is that the handles show no sign of shrinkage.

Today I bought this knife for best offer. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, ducks etched on blade, "whittler" pocket knife. This is my second one of this particular "72" variation, my first with the packaging and paperwork. I believe it to be in better condition than it looks in the pictures. When I receive it, I'll check it over. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Skip that is a sweet pick up. A very special bone handled knife.

So your the one!

I saw that one or one like it, and had saved it in my watch list. But didn't really keep my eye on it while I cought up on my to-do's for the first week of the month. By the time I went back, it was purchased and out of stock.

Great score. It does look to be in good shape.

Thank you Smitty.

When I see a CAMILLUS 1047 with a federal style shield, I pounce. The other style shield, it depends on a couple of factors whether or not I'll have any interest in it.

I received this knife this morning. Another CAMILLUS 72 variation. It's a CAMILLUS (1047), 3 blade, federal style shield, Boy Scout, "whittler" pocket knife. I gave the blades a bit of a cleaning. Pictures were taken and here is the knife.

This morning I received this knife. The latest addition to my CAMILLUS 72 variation collection. It is a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, "Ducks" etched main blade, "whittler" pocket knife. This is my second one of the CAMILLUS "Ducks" knives. It came with the packaging and paperwork. It needed no cleaning.

If I remember right your first one didn't have the box. So happy for you. As Jerry pointed out, these knives never seem to have been used.

Thank you Floyd and you did remember correctly.

My first one was JUST the knife.
