old camillus

[SilentJohn]

how old is this old camillus knife. i found it at a flea market in a sad state and i am working the edge back to usable it was flaking and brittle when i got it and it looks like some a-hole went at the blade with a belt sander

here is a link to a video of the knife

Looks like 1941-46. Here's a pic from a very useful thread, on dating Camillus stamps (linked below):
