Bought this knfe on Ebay, shield looks right, knife looks right, markings on tang look etched not stamped. Sorry for poor quality. Marking is very small. Is it legit or did I buy a forgery?

"During the last years that Camillus was open, it was common practice to etch the brand on the tangs. This was frequently done on blades that had another customer's brand ground off. For example-After Schrade closed in 2004 any blades remaining at the Camillus factory had the "SCHRADE" tang stamp removed and the "CamilluS" name etched in its place. Nothing was thrown away at Camillus." (Tom Williams)
 
Thanks! Viewed with 10x magnification I can see the remains of three letters that were mostly ground off, looks like top of a C and top of a K, possibly the top of a U. All I can think of is BUCK
