Old Camillus pocket knife.

I found this old pocket knife I remember having at least 10 years ago. I honestly do not remember how I got it and was just wondering if anyone has any information on this knife. I have no idea how old it actually is. My "shot in the dark" would be 50's or 40's. Thank you in advance.

Have a look here:

It looks very unusual, so hopefully it would not have been made for many years.

I've seen examples of that knife before, too. :)

I believe it dates between 1941-46, according to one Bladeforums tang dating post.

Is there anything stamped on the blade besides:

Camillus
Cutlery Co
Camillus, NY
???

The only thing I did not mention which is stamped on the opposite side is two swords crossing. It also says "Spiral Punch" on the awl.

1941-46 is about right, then.

Here is the thread for confirming tang stamp dates; beyond that, no, I've seen the knife pattern before, however I have no other information on it. :/
