Camillus American Wildlife series

[arrowhd]

Last week I had a chance to hit some of the local antique stores. Came across this complete store display for sale. They wanted a very handsome price for it. Passed on purchasing it, but took some quick cell phone photos to share. Never seen these before. Display says each one has a "hand crafted pewter" piece.

Neat! May I ask how much they were asking for it?

 

[Cory Hess]

Very cool. You don't see those fully stocked like that too often. Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

[Bloefield]

Very nice.
I haven't seen that in quite a few decades.
I have three left from a half dozen or so.
Here is one.

I think it was around $1200-$1500. Can't remember exactly.

I knew someone would recognize them or have one. Do you recall when these came out?

Mid 70's.
I bought mine in a local mom and pop gun and gear store.
I was in my 20's. Over the years I gave some away as gifts.
This thread should help.

I have two of these very well made knives; a #10 Large Trapper (same model as the one Bloefield owns - except with the deer head emblem) and this Model #32 Fish Knife; also here is a catalog page displaying the Lockbacks and Large Trappers. OH

 

[Bloefield]

Nice OH!
They are built like tanks. Hefty and capable.
By the way, they spey is huge and both blades have half stops [Trappers]

I LIKE CAMILLUS.

I'd likely have tried to arrange to put a deposit on it, then sold a firearm or two to pay it off and pick up the display.
