Remington 5 Blade Sowbelly

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

I had previously written a reply to this post from Dave with concerns and questions related to olderdogs Sowbelly, and I withdrew the entire post. After really looking at this knife,(pictures) with a discerning eye trying to find something that would say that it may have been "worked on" I came to a conclusion that I could only find what was right with this knife. It has it all IMHO. Every minor variable that I could find in the production was easily explained in my mind. All of my books, resource materials and personal memories of other sow knives lead me to believe that" this is that rare treasure".
If I had the money I would make a serious offer on this one...It is a beauty. Just sayin'... ::tu::
