Picked up this one off the bay. This is an after picture and there is no before picture. From the other thread about dating, I believe this is a 1970's knife.

This Camillus model #64 knife could have been made in the 1970's or later. Your knife has an older tang stamp and the handles appear to have utilized stud construction. Studs are molded onto the back of the handles that protrude through the linings to fasten the handles to the linings. Knives that use stud construction can easily be identified by the absence of pins on the handles and only the middle pin is visible. You can verify stud construction by looking inside the knife and seeing two studs on each handle that protrude through the linings. Camillus first used stud construction around 1970. I will send several photos of the model #64 knife and ask sactroop to post them here.
