If the handles are delrin, I've paid $25 and shipping for the last two I purchased. I haven't seen bone with that tang stamp and shield, but it they are bone that might at least give you a starting point.

Probably about $40. The age is post WWII. This is probably the Camillus with the short underline stamp and would date to shortly after WWII. The long underline tang stamping would be a little later say 1950's to early 1960's.

Just realized that I could blow the pictures up and saw that the stamping was the long underline. Most of the long underline knives were delrin. Since this one is bone, I think it pretty much pins the manufacture date down to 1950's through early 1960's. After that, I think, Camillus went to strictly delrin.

Thanks msteele 6 I look in my books and thought that was the age, but I really don't
collect Camillus. Thanks for the help.
