Presentation/Commemorative USMC, Raider, Stiletto,

[Darren Henkel]

Did Camillus make a Presentation/Commemorative USMC, Raider, Stiletto, with Black Blade and gold in color lettering near the hilt?
Thanks... Doc (FMF) Henkel

This might help. From Camco, Camillus Historian.

QUOTE=CAMCO;953008]Camillus Cutlery Co. produced the USMC Raider's Stiletto in 1942 and a total of 14,370 knives were made. The Camillus version featured a cast zinc handle with the USMC scroll and Camillus maker's markings etched on the blade.
In the late 1980's, Camillus offered a reproduction and 2,000 knives were produced. The reproduction Stilettos featured a cast pewter handle, blued blade and the USMC scroll and Camillus name were etched in gold. Most of these knives were packaged in a wood display case with a red velvet lining.
After the 2,000 reproduction Stilettos were sold, the remaining knives, without the blued blades and gold etching, were etched "CAMILLUS" and were offered during the early and mid 1990's.

Thanks, for the help, you hit the nail on the head, right down to the red velvet lining.
It is in pristine condition, can you set a approximate value to this knife? I am looking to put an Insurance rider on the Knife. Thanks again.
