I've decided to sell off (or trade) the bulk of my collection since I'm starting school next week. I'm not going to have the time to enjoy these, so I'll move them on out to someone who can. The only trades I'd be interested in would be almost any GEC pattern with "Dead Skunk" acrylic scales.
I want to get these moving, so I'll sell all three for $120. if someone will take them today. (Got school coming up and I won't have much time to work the sales here after I start.)
Terms:
- First unconditional "I'll take it" in this thread gets it, with email or PM follow-up.
- Buyer is responsible for adhering to all applicable laws regarding ownership of any knife you buy from me.
- shipping & insurance included in price; USPS First Class or USPS Priority mail with delivery confirmation.
- Shipping to U.S. addresses only.
- I'll take PayPal or USPS money orders. If paying by PayPal, I'll eat the fees. My PayPal is cnroles(at)sbcglobal(dot)net. Do not send payment until I confirm.
- I'll ship within 48 hours of receiving payment.
My other traditional thread (with price drops) is here:

Remington #R1253 "Guide" ($45.) SOLD to puukkoman - Knife only, no box. Made by Camillus in 1992. Unused as far as I know. I've kept it stored in a generic zippered knife pouch that I'll send along with it. 5-3/8" closed, 4-1/8" clip blade, jigged brown delrin scales, brass liners, nickel-silver pins, bolsters & shield. Lockup is solid with no play in any direction.
Camillus #1066 ($35.) and #1068 ($50.) lockbacks - I have to call these "UIB" - "unused in the box", because while I've never used either one, they've been sitting with my other Scout knives. Jigged brown (actually, more of a red shade) scales on both. There is scuffing on the bolsters of the #1066, and the #1068 looks almost new, as it's been stored in a ziplock baggie since I got it. I bought these from our local Scout shop right after the Camillus closure in 2007, and I figured I'd never get rid of them. The #1066 is the single-blade lockback, and it locks up solidly with no play in any direction. The #1068 is the double-lockback; the main blade has a little side-to-side play if you really try to move it, otherwise it locks up solidly. The secondary blade is the saw. When I bought this one, the saw blade had significant side-to-side play, and I later sent it to Phil Gibbs (formerly of Camillus, now with A.G. Russell) and he was able to remove a lot of the sideplay in the saw. There's still a little side-to-side wiggle, but not enough to affect the function of it. The saw closes a little slowly, but I figured that's an okay tradeoff to eliminate the side play. (I'll sell the two together for $80.)
