Buck 301 ??

[1894]

So as not to further derail the aniversary thread.
My limeted reasearch says that Camillus made this knife
from the mid 70's - mid 80's . Any one narrow it down more ?

Camillus made the Buck 301 from 1969-1986.

Camillus made Buck tangstamps.

Early Models(69-72):Mark side “Buck/Made In/U.S.A.”/Pile side “Model #”
they will also have handle rivets.

Later Models(73-86):Mark Side “Buck/Model#/U.S.A.” Pile side is blank.

Yours is a 73-86, but the long "french" nail pull on the main blade puts it closer to 73.

It's almost impossible to nail down the exact year on these.
