R3843 Real Or Reproduction

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 would not be concerned about the backward N as the same thing can be found on other Remington knives. One for instance is the Wayne Feeds equal end.

The backwards N is a mistake that is on the majority of those knives. A correct N is a harder knife to find. I've probably owned 10 of them and only had one with a correct N. Very nice knife John, and I'd agree that the sheath isn't original.

I don’t think anyone could fake that bone.
