I THINK I KNOW. . . YANNO ???

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.

Dave N Nancy Payne It looks like Camillus with jigging and long pull on the main blade. They knives for Remington till 1938 or 1940 according to two sources. Dave


Dave I am doing some research on the Cutlery Companies who were contracted by Remington during circa. 1920 thru 1940. The knives they were contracted to produce, patterns, main blade stamps etc. and the dates they produced them. Any knowledge you could supply would be appreciated regarding the info you received about Camillus and their involvement with Remington. Thanks! ::handshake::
