Orange Blossoms

[Pile Driver]

I just got my original Winchester catalog from 1926 in the mail, looks like they formally called them Orange Blossoms as well.

Dan, great looking knives.
PD, really liking your Remington. I'd probably lightly clean it.

A knife cannot be buffed up to its original state.

It can be cleaned to a better over all appearance and even that would be in the eye of an individual beholder.

A simple cleaning with toothpicks, Q-Tips, etc and a polish of the entire knife with Sem-Chrome Metal Polish is as far as one should go and there are some here that object to even that.

Pretty knife.

I think bone handled Orange Blossoms are much more rare than the pearls.

Thanks Charlie, I might see where a microfiber cloth and some mineral oil gets me with some elbow grease. Is flitz better than semichrome because it doesn't have an abrasive pumice?

The metal polish of your choice is fine.I have used several and find little difference.Dab some on the Blade and let it set for an hour or so and gently clean it off and it will show the etch better.
Charlie is right about many more pearl than bone orange blossoms.

Did someone mention pearl Orange Blossoms?

Your not a very good influence Joe. I saw your nice Remington orange blossom and had to find me one.

I have one. A Winchester with a piece of bone out of the mark side and a lazy pen. I really like these little knives. Probably my favorite pattern. Well these pictures really dont do the ole gal justice but here they are. Thanks for looking.

The stag handled Remington is even rarer than the bone handle. They are my favorite pattern also. It seems a lot of them have backspring problems, blades there lazy or sitting proud. The springs are very fragile on this pattern. I read somewhere that orange blossoms were priced as high as the bullet patterns, when they were new, as they were very difficult and time consuming to make.

This stag R7366 Remington is rough but I'm glad to have it.
