This weekend I went to the big antiques sale held every year in Mount Dora Fl. Among the finds were a Camillus 301 in near mint condition. I say near mint as it didn't come with the box. The knife actually looks like i just took it out of the box. The rest are a 303 with the BUCK inlay, a 307, a 317, a SwissMate with the sheath. The find of the weekend was a 65-67 inverted 2-liner 120 without a model number on either the knife or sheath in excellent shape. The one question I have is whether or not the 120's were ever hand-ground. The line at the end of the grind is angled slightly instead of straight. I'll add photos as soon as I can take some decent ones when it's not raining. BTW, I didn't fork over more than 50.00 for any of them.

Mitch, yes on those early knives much of the work was done by hand. A great bunch of treasures you found. DM
 
317 With the sheath In decent shape


SwissMate That also had a sheath with it


Camillus 301 that looks like it just came out of the box


Camillus 307 that just needs shapening to remove minor blade nicks


1988 ( I think) 303 in decent shape


1965 (?) 120 Inverted 2 line with sheath and no numbers on either one. The line at the end of the edge tells me it was hand ground.
