Remington I.D.

[upnorth]

This Remington came in a box of knives, and looks pretty good. I wonder if the Remington experts can help me place it in time and/or provenance!
In other words, is it genuine? Is it a reproduction?
When was it made? If not Remington, then who made it?
Lotsa questions, and I thank you in advance!!

That is a genuine Remington. Probably mid 1930's , Pyremite scales. I don't remember the pattern number but I can look it up in the morning if no one else comes up with it. That sure is a nice one.

The knife belongs to Tom Boutin. I agree with you RC, it appears genuine to me. I'd love to hear some more opinions - anyone else??

I looked in the C-5 Catalog and the C 30 catalog. I found 2 patterns that resemble the OP knife:

1. R B041, Brown Bone; Length closed 3 3/8"

2. RB 1240, Brown Bone; Length closed 5"

I seem to recall seeing a barlow in black pyremite, but can't find a reference. Is this knife considered "white" pyremite? I don't collect the pyremite knives so I don't follow them very closely.

It looks old to me and it looks Remington to me, but I couldn't find a pyremite handle with a single clip blade in my reference material.

I've got a couple of them in my collection. I'll try to take a picture of them.
