Camillus beauty needs TLC

I found this old congress pattern, though I think they were sometimes referred to as a Senator pattern.
It is 3-1/8" and one pivot pin is broken and the celluloid is broken.
I picked it up at a flea market for a dollar or two.

The knife is real solid and has actually been used very little I think.
This goes in the pile to fix when I get caught up next year. :mrgreen:

As you can see it is a Sword Brand, the top of the line for Camillus and has the 4 line tang stamp.
I think it was probably made well before WWII.

That one definitely deserves to be saved before you die.
