Help with Identification
Hi there, any help identifying these two Remington pocket knives would be grand. I know one is a Boy Scout's knife, but it certainly isn't the RS3333! The other, I just...have no idea, I've been looking and you guys seem like a great resource. Both of them have Remington marks on them, but no numbering. They both seem old. Thanks in advance! ~ Jed

Re: Help with Identification
Thank you, Junebug. I should have thought to give dimensions, my bad!
The Boy Scout knife is just over 3 1/4" long with a main blade length of 2 1/4".
The other knife is 3 1/4" long and the bigger blade is 2", shorter is 1 1/2".
I don't know if it'll help, but these are photos are of the marks on the other, non-Scout knife.
Thanks again!

Re: Help with Identification
Vit_213, thank you for your help! I'm not sure if it is RS4783, though. With your info I did another search and found this site http://www.scoutknives.net/index.php?op ... &Itemid=62
I'm wondering if it is a 4773? There's no shackle and the can opener is on the wrong end, and it's not 3 1/2" long, it's just short of that (I measured three times to be sure, heh).

Junebug,
Thank you very much for taking the time to help out. I still haven't found anything else online quite like it, so...your help is appreciated.
Best,

Re: Help with Identification
If anyone is interested, these two knives are going on eBay tonight. I am not a collector, myself. These did come from a collection I recently got. Thanks.
