The same pattern, different handles.

Camillus pattern 5818, first produced as the Remington R5.

We probably made as many of this pattern as any other in the Company's last 20 years; we made them for alot of Customers!

Phil:
Just echoing Dales sentiments. From persons such as you and also Tom comes such information that can be taken to the bank. Thanks for your participation.
