1980 Camillus Marlin Spike knife?

Post by bonehead »

Hello Camillus experts,

A friend of mine came across this knife in his toolbox this past weekend and forgot all about it. He mentioned that a neighbor had given this to him in new condition in 1980. His neighbor was in the army and was the isssuer of the knives to all of the servicemen. It measures 4 7/16 overall and appears to have delrin handles. The brown knife in this link is the same knife with the exception of the tang stamping. This knife has a tang stamp "Camillus Stainless" It has a wicked snap to both the single blade and spike, Backspring is quite thick.

Does this era sound correct? Any guesstimate to current value in mint condition?

Any information would be appreciated. ::smirk::

Thanks in Advance
