Camillus USA WWII

[smiling-knife]

I believe it is an pre 1945 WWII US Army knife. That's about all I know so I would appreciate any further information you have. Thanks in advance.

Hi SK. Looks like a US Army camillus #14 to me. Has the old style can opener that was later redesigned with the type we are now used to seeing. Tom should be along to tell you for sure.

That was the old style can opener. I worked there at Camillus Cutlery

from 1969 till 2007. I have seen a lot of those come in to get fixed up. Some times the people would use them so much that the tangs would wair down and the blade would would be weak. I had some new blades at the shop. I would put one in it would work like new. The covers are made from real bone. Hard to work with because of ther age. That is a nice knife

What would be the approximate value of these knives?
I have one in excellent shape. Was going to post it but this post has answered my question as to what model and time period.

Jon E., I'd give about $35.00 for it.
