The first knife I ever owned was a Camillus 2 blade Congress that my dad bought for me. I still have it and it is a smaller version of the #40. There isn't any markings left on mine but I was wondering what model it would be. It would be from the early sixty's. It measures 3'' closed. I appreciate any help.

Maybe a 41 pattern - Senator pen

Welcome here, I am showing a small congress that is 3 1/16" closed. It might be your knife in question.

Thank You so much for Your reply. My knife actually has the jigged handle. It is a smaller version of the # 40 and measures 3'' closed. I do appreciate you taking the time to help.

If a photo were included with the description, identification would be easier.

Differences in the factory's sanding and buffing or in the accuracy of collectors' measuring could account for 1/16". Alternatively, if the old set of dies used to stamp out handle parts wore out the tool and die maker might not have thought it was important to exactly dublicate the old set. The parts in many modern Case knives do not interchange with the same pattern knife from decades ago. It's probably the same with Camillus.
