Camillus #83 Deluxe Pony

[Redmeadow Knives]

What a great little knife, found this recently in very poor shape, but she cleaned up well. From what I gather the three exposed pins put it pre mid 1970's? Maybe someone can help me out on that. All the blades open smooth and snap well. 2 5/8" long, somewhat coined liners, and seems well made.
Is there a purpose for the zig zags on the liner between the backsprings or is this purely cosmetic?

Fine knife. Deluxe for sure.

It is an elegant little bugger, not sure of the pattern other than what Camillus calls it. Deluxe pony stock knife. Not sure where the pony comes from, doesn't look like a pony jack to me. I just gave it to a friend that took care of my critters while I was on vacation.

Also found a Kutmaster barlow that's pretty rough that I'm trying to smooth out. It has crazy hard pulls and opens like a gravel road. Gonna try some lapping compound in hopes to smooth it out, we'll see how that goes.
