Are these common?

 

not sure but camillus is a good knife i would go $70 for an addition to my collection

 

I have had a few Camillus knives made in the 70s and 80s they where great but I don't know about the new ones. But it will make a nice collector piece.

 

Camillus knives were made in NY for many years and of good quality. They made a lot of knives for the US Military. That was then and now they are not made in NY and if they are at all they would not be of high quality. So old is good.

That Knife was part of a limited package that included a Marlin 1895 CLTD............the rear bolster carries 3 or 4 numbers, and those numbers are the last digits in the serial number of the rifle it was mated to..................

I agree that they are a good strong well made knife, but I'll disagree that they are not collectible..........I think they are, even if they are not high dollar knives. Don't forget, Marlins were not initially high dollar rifles.

I also have a Marlin Camillus lock back knife NIB, that was given to me............#860 or #0860, (I can't recall now) but I don't have that S/N on my 1895 CLTD rifle, and I don't have the correct knife that should go with my rifle, either.

What year or years, was that Tomray?

 

I have few.

 

Tomray thanks for the post. I saw there were a 4 numbers on the rear bolster and 3 numbers on the tang. It made me wonder if the knife was a frankenstein like some of the high dollar Case knives that get past off as real on Ebay.

Golphin,

I don't understand what you're saying or asking............I'll need to go check the numbers on my Knife.
