First USA 303

[Mitch W.]

I finally got a USA made 303. Wife let me go in hole on next months knife budget to get it at an antique store, along with a 2003 503. Total cost 21.00.
Photo coming tomorrow after cleaning it up a little. BTW, I think it's a Camillus made model.

The 300 series is addictive. I didn't own any of these knives before April of 2010.

Now in SPS. BTW, I went by the antique store where I saw the yellow handled knife. It's a 1988 303 with the hammer, knife, and nail "badge", and yellow delrin handles. It's probably one you already have. The price is up there a little too much for me.

Yours is Camillus made from the era just before Buck took back the 303 to makeit in-house beginning in late 85.

I have ONE yellow 303, which were SMKWs special orders in the 80s, you may be contacted by one or so of the other fellows on that as they not very often encountered.
I would say a fair price for one of those is over 35 and under 55, depending on quality and box.

Price is at top of your range but with no box. Condition is excellent however.
