Ebay knife

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.

Here is another that looks original for comparison. Looks the same to me?

This second knife "looks" correct and original as the pictures present. Noting all 3 pins are same brass material, appear spun and clean. I see a large difference between the two knives in discussion. Blades have nice patina, tang stamp looks good as well as the stamped pattern number. Scales are beautiful and appear crack free. The blades are in fair to good condition high 80's or low 90% range. Most of these patterns have a bar shield, after consideration/ assessment some patterns produced with presented shield. The shield and bolsters are nickel silver and if we had the chance to see the liners I believe they would be of brass material as stated in Remington's Jobber's knife listings. Overall a beautiful knife! ::tu::
