good backstory... B.S.A., Camillus, N.Y. , 80's...

[Drum4fun]

Seller told me he bought this for his son in the 80's... did not
give it to him "until his behavior improves". "It never did" .
To me appeared in N.O.S. condition. A beauty. I gave $20.

When you come across one like this...."Be Prepared".

Looks good. Great Score.

Will this be one for the pocket or the display case?

I vote "pocket" if it matters. That knife deserves to be used.

Very nice knife with an even better story behind it. Camillus made a very fine Scout knife

That’s a classic for sure. Nice pickup and I think I had that kid in my troop! OH

Very nice #99 you've got there, I've got one and love it.
It's the standard non BSA 99 scout but of course it's the same knife.
The awl is a great one and when that knife is carried I use it all the time for scraping, deburring, and marking lines.
