Inspired by Ken's beautiful photo, a few shots of my GEC 66 Moose

[Doug Add]

I don't know if this old Camillus counts as a moose pattern, but it has two blades (they probably used to be full sized!) of similar length on a single spring. The closed length is 3.625".

The Sheepsfoot blade is 2".

The clip (more like a wharncliffe shape now) blade is 2.0625".

The blades are not as thick as on the GEC moose, and you can see the spacer used with the liner at each end toward the blade points.

The long pull looks good on that Moose.

I just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in by adding that by the photo's the colouring of the jigged Bone look extremely close to Cases early Red Bone Colouring-which is simply beautiful.

I do not have the gorgeous red bone Case knives that you do Duncan, but what I have I'll show. I could do a more favorable comparison if you would send me your red bone Case knives. I promise to take good care of them!

Here is my XX era 6292 alongside the 66 moose. Not the best example of Case red bone (this one tends more toward the orange side of red), nor the best photo quality, but you can get an idea of how the bone color compares.

Here is my XX era 62024 ½ alongside the moose.

Truly, and I would love to be able to hear them. Someone speculated based on the tang stamp that this Camillus predates WWI. I really have no idea, but it certainly has seen its share of use over the years, however many they may be.

Doug, that old Camillus is master! Thanks for showing it.

 

[Doug Add]

Thanks Will. It is one of several treasures I have picked up from Vanguard.

I also like that worn looking backspring, very authentic!
