What have I bought?

I just got this at a good price on fleababy. What is it? I can't find it on Schrade collectors site, and I've never seen one before. It looks just like a Great Eastern #73 (which of course is a clone of the ancient Remington junior jumbo trapper of yore) :

Looks more like a Camillus than a Schrade. Not sure how accurate the seller's measurements are, but the single blade lockbacks in the following brochure seem to match up to it. Was available in both Yellow jacket and Classic wood handled form:

Nice looking knife!

I agree with Eric on this one. In that it is a very nice knife, and also in thinking it's a Camillus pattern rather Schrade. Either way, looks like you got a nice deal!

Thank you, folks! I never thought to look in the Camillus section! Does seem to be a bit of a novelty with the hybrid Uncle Henry/Craftsman/Camillus configuration. Anyway, I did break my rule on this one ("buy high; sell low.")
