4 Blade Congress

[stockman]

Remington Congress 3 5/8” closed. All blades marked REMINGTON/UMC on two lines. Handle material looks a little like stag, but I really don’t think so. Pressed bone? Fairly well made. Could not find this tang stamp, or a picture of this knife. No pattern number. Harold

Don't know squat about your Remington other than it is a real beauty! Congratulations.
Those congress and 1/2 congress knives seem to be growing on me. I only have a few and it took a while to adjust to their shape.

That is a nice congress. My dad doesn’t have any check marks in Sargents. So I don’t know if I have any to look at for comparison. The pictures in the book aren’t that good. I can only see circle stamps on tangs

Without having it in hand, I am going to say that those handles are jigged bone. I am more confident that the pile side is bone. The mark side looks a little different. Search on this site for "haversin canals", then study the knife with a magnifying glass.

Not to concerned about handles I think they are bone. Never have seen those tang stamps. They are not like the Remington straight line stamp. Really don’t know what’s up. It is older. Harold

I've never seen that tang stamp. Harold, to me it has a German look to it. Do you agree with that. It looks 50's or 60's to me? interesting for sure

[stockman]

Thanks Keith, I had German stuck in my mind also for some reason, probably goes back for many years.
