Remington bullet knife
Re: Remington bullet knife
The shield may be right, but the inlay work is down right shoddy. Looks like it was pushed into Play Dough! I don't much about Remington Bullet knives but this looks like junk....

Keith, even the shield looks wrong to me (bent down on the bullet tip and missing the lines by the center fire end of the cartridge). I think they are trying to suggest this is a R1253 - not even close. Bolsters are too long, bone is wrong, blade is wrong, etc. Terrible.

Got a kick out of the description, "might not be authentic" Ya think??? I don't thing there is an original piece of Remington on that thing.

You know with all of the expertise that's available setting on the bottom shelf around here a guy could get smarter about knives just looking at the remarks on the questions members ask. I myself have taken a longer more enquissive look at knives before I bid or before I buy from individuals or junk stores or pawn shops . There are lot of you without mentioning names because I'm sure I would miss some one just suffice to say thank you for sharing.
Honey do you have your pocket knife ? Do I have my pants on?
Re: Remington bullet knife
I think the entire knife is right. Right out of the twilight zone.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Remington bullet knife
Sometimes you might read the phrase "across the room fake" in the counterfeit forum which means a knife is a very obvious fake. The original post knife in this thread fits that definition for me. Many times I have an intuition that a knife is not right from looking at it but even then I need to study the knife to know the objective reasons why my intuition says bad. In this situation I have some deep knowledge with the Remington Bullet knives because I have studied them extensively so I immediately knew the bolsters and the blade nail nick were wrong. If you would show me a well-done fake Robeson I likely wouldn't be able to tell because I am not familiar with Robesons.
Please look at the comparison picture below. In this case, I think it is pretty easy to determine which example is an old, well-designed knife constructed by a true craftsman and which one isn't.

The words vintage and antique are vague. Actually most words are vague. Even the word vague is vague.

The photo comparison is a really nice demonstration of the night and day difference.
