R1592

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

The R1592 is a swell end jack pattern. The last digit in the pattern number, a 2, signifies the handle material. The smooth black composite material made a durable knife scale. The knife was made in the 20's or 30's, a picture of the tang stamp would help narrow down the date. The knife sold new for less than a dollar, but now a mint example would bring $200 or more.
