Thanks Kieth, it is an R1253, I forgot to put that info. Thanks msteel for your opinion I appreciate that

BWT, you are looking at an original Remington Bullet R1253. There are 13 of these original Bullet patterns and as a group they are fairly rare and collectible. With regard to the R1253, it is one of the more commonly available Bullets, in my opinion, and more common to find.

Are you wanting to build a Bullet collection? If so, my advice would be to wait for a better example and pay a little more because you will be more likely to find a buyer should that need ever arise. If you are just dabbling with Remington as a brand and want some variety in your collection then this could be a fit for you if the price is right which, in my opinion, would be lower than numbers you have already read in the previous responses.

The cracked nail pull is a problem, in my opinion. The minor blade wobble and lazy close is typical for these large lock back knives, in my experience.

I marked up one of the pictures you provided with some of my observations.

Thanks Jerry, this is the first Remington I have found, vintage any way. I'm not a Remington collector, just older knives. I really like this one, will give it a little more thought.

More like a $250 knife tops.It has issues.Jerry gave you good advice,wait for a better one.They're not that hard to find.

Thanks Roger for the help.

Here is an interesting knife I think. R1882. 3 inches with slick black handles. The razor blade on a pocket knife confuses me. Can't imagine it was bought to shave with. Especially one this small. Anyway, I like the knife.

I'm with you, I like the knife, very nice, great find

Thanks Bill. I've had it a while but never shared it.

Keith, Awesome Knife

Keith,the blade isn't meant to be a razor.It is made that way so you can open it with one hand by catching the corner on your pants or something to open it.

Is that right? I've never heard that before. That's interesting. Thanks for the info Roger.

They were usually opened on a boot or shoe heel. Sometimes called a one arm knife. Very nice Keith . I have one also and they are scarce. Thanks for sharing.

I have one other. Not a big fan of the Barlow style knife but this one I like.

I was looking back at this post and ran across espn77's picture of the R1882 ( nice ) - reminded me of a knife I have the R1582

Great looking knife

why is it some knives you just connect with even if they are not the rarest or even that collectable - just always liked the knife

This is a Remington R2403 made by Schrade.

Sweet knife Jerry, somebody bought her and loved her dearly. That's a keeper!

Jerry,that one belongs towards the top of the shelf

Norton and Jerry, two great knives.

Great knife Jerry.

I don't think you could find nicer jigged bone than that!

Jerry that is one beautiful knife
