Camillus with no pattern number

I can't find the pattern number for this stainless 3 3/8" stockman. It has the "60-'75 stamp and is a advertising knife for MoorMans, as that is etched on the clip blade. The spay has an etch on both sides, FOR FLESH ONLY and the other, RAZOR EDGE STAINLESS/PAT PENDING. The handles are made to look like stag with a Federal shield melted into the mark side. I suppose they are made of Delrin.
Where does this on fit in the line up?

Philip, I lightened up the picture a bit and discovered those handles are what Camillus called Indian StagĀ®. Indian StagĀ® was introduced in about 1973 on the Prestige Line. Of course that doesn't help you with the pattern number but it gives you a push in the right direction.

Jerry, I got to thinking about what Vit said and I believe he's right about the "Indian Stag". My knife's "fake stag" is a totally different pattern.
I have a Sword Brand muskrat that Dale had replaced the blades that is covered with the "Indian Stag". Here is a picture that shows the difference in the handle style:

Vit, I looked up Camco 771 and it is the same size but it shows a pen blade where this Camillus has a spay so it must fall in the "stockman" category.
Thanks for the interest, maybe we'll have a pattern number on day.

I was looking at the Camillus catalogs last night; I can find plenty of 3-3/8" stockman but most have a clip blade, not the California or Turkish clip blade.
I find plenty of knives with those handles in the 1970s, but they have the clip blades. ::shrug::

That blade style seems to be more prevelant in the Camco line.
Maybe the knife is a SFO, and not just a catalog pattern that was etched for Moor Man's ::hmm::
