Heres some information on the cammilus tang stamps Syd, I hope this is helpful.  I couldn't quite see the entire stamp on yours.

Oh yeah, I said I would post pics of the Buck #315 Yachtsman I found the same week as the TL-29 ebay. It was a listing with bad photos so many folks ignored it, but I saw through that and realized it was in decent shape, so I snagged this one for $26, way way under the usual going price for this model. I'll be sending it in for a Buck factory "spa treatment", it should clean up well and fill that slot in my 300 Series collection nicely.

Thanks Jeremy, I get lucky once in awhile. The thrift store I found this and the BSA knife in is a Catholic charity and for some reason gets knives in more often than other thrifts in the area. They also had a genuine SAK w/black handles in the same showcase, but I didn't have enough extra cash to get both so I chose the TL-29. The best part was that it was a 50% off sale day, so with that and the "old guy" discount I got outta there for under $10. Needless to say I will stop by there again after the first, (pay day), maybe I'll get lucky again!

OMG I thrift all the time.  Since I buy the grandkids clothes, they all wear from the thrift and love it

You know me Jan, I'm a bargain hound. Thrift stores have been a part of my life since my mom and I went "junkin'" every week when I was a kid, we would hit every one in town so it's second nature to me now. About half my clothes comes from thrifts, you could say I find knives occasionally when I'm shopping for a new-to-me Hawaiian shirt, (I have like 20, it's another of my collecting fixations). I miss those times with mom, I think about her every time I go into a thrift, maybe that's why I do it so often.
