I'm trying to get an idea of an age of a 4-line, sword brand camillus. The knife has two blades on one end and appears to a stockman style knife. At what age, based on how I described it, would it possibly be? I've sifted thru some of the old threads and feel more confused.

Camillus tang stamps are really confusing and I have studied them extensively and I know less now than when I started!
About all I can say with any sort of certainty is that the 4-line tang stamp was discontinued about 1946, right after the war.
As to when they started using it; that is still up for debate. From what I have seen; it seems to me they used more than one stamp prior to WWII, the 4-line being one of them.
