paying extra for a Remington

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.

Is the bone on the 1123 seen often or do I just need to view it on a larger screen?
Could be I’m not used to seeing one crisp?

The jigging pattern on my R1123 example is atypical from the normal Rogers jigging found on the Bullets. I have seen a few R1123's with this jigging and have not seen it on any of the other bullet patterns. My speculation, which should not construed as a fact (lol), is that the R1123's with this style of jigging are newer knives made later in the 30's.

You have probably seen the picture in Mel Brewster’s 1991 edition of “Remington Bullet Knives” pictured on page 3 , his R1123 is made with the same bone as yours. John

I have seen it on 1123's before and sometimes on one side.
