Hey all, a friend of mine found this Camillus Raider-style stilleto. What is peculiar is the grind not lasting the whole length of the blade, and a tang stamp unlike the etching on most. Any info is greatly appreciated! I will try to post pictures shortly
 
I look forward to seeing pics.
None of the originals or reproductions were ever hand stamped.
 
Frank Trzaska has what looks like one of these on his "reproduction recognition" page of his website. http://usmilitaryknives.com/raider_stiletto.htm
Unfortunately it looks like the link to the information is down. If you don't have any luck here I'd recommend contacting Frank. Franks information is very solid. Also anything to do with Camillus was usually either provided or verified to him by Tom Williams.
 
I spoke with Mr. traska and was informed that whole it was a post-85 reproduction, he'd never seen one quite like it.
