My $10 Gunshow Find Yesterday

[leghog]

Gunshow find yesterday. Sold a Winchester M61 from 1954 for $650 and picked this up for $10. I'll clean it up this afternoon.

Camillus Engineer Knife. Brass liners. Steel bolsters.

Nice score, leghog. I really like those old style can openers.

 

[Will Power]

Nice proportions and decent patina giving it a fine look. Might be worth re-scaling that broken side with something similar as it yearns for carry.

I'd like to find bargains, seldom seem too.... Great discovery and catch.

Regards, Will

That's a real nice old knife, love everything about it. Enjoy the process of restoring that one.

Very nice. She looks to have many more years of use left in her.

I was at the WAC gun show yesterday and they had a knife show going on at the sometime. I actually think I saw what looks to be that knife but I expect many were made in that model and cover back in the day. I did not end up buying anything....

Congrats on your find. Very similar to the knife my Grandfather had in the Navy in WWII but that had a different can opener.

Cool knife.

Wow! New scales and you are good to go!
