The UMC in the stamp should date it before 1935 .

Re: RH 28 info
Maybe not a lot of interest on the Remington fixies. I didn't see a dedicated thread, but jumped onto the tailgate of this one. an RH 71 and RH 73. The box goes with the 71. The 71 is mint and the other one is a few hairs behind, with some sharpening scratches. The etches are on the opposite side of the blades than shown in the book on Remington sheath knives by Grimm. Also a little different are the right-hand sheaths. No one seems to know why most of the old Remington sheaths are lefties.

Re: RH 28 info
Speculative, but my guess is it is marketing the Remington logo. The curve of the sheath turns left,( as you face the sheath with logo in front of you) related to the natural curve of the blade when the handle on some patterns as demonstrated below or the tang stamp in general shows the Remington brand logo.
For those that don't know, here is the cream of the crop in Remington's fixed blade patterns identification as mentioned below.
IDENTIFICATION GUIDE TO REMINGTON SHEATH KNIVES 1925-1940 by D.Y.GRIMM. I recommend this to the collectors of Remington fixed blade knives. A great resource and guide.

Re: RH 28 info
Mebbe so! I would not discount that theory. I like to carry a handgun crossdraw as well as otherwise; it depends on the situation. For reasons unclear, I always seem to carry the knife on my right side, except when I carry it in a pack, which is just as likely. Cell phone in left pocket. Pocket knife(s) in right pocket with silver dollar. Billfold left rear. Snot rag right rear. In town I have to have a poop bag for the dog. In the hunting field there has to be enough pockets for binoculars, rangefinder, gps.... Well, I finally gave up on the pockets and belts thing and everything but the handgun goes into a pack. All of it. Sorry about the digression.royal0014 wrote:I read somewhere 'er other that the old hunting knives had left-handed
