Remington 1243

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.

::welcome:: to AAPK! Looks like she's in great condition. Weren't most of these made in the 1930s? Your best price guide is an eBay Completed Listings search using this pattern number. 😉👍
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

The tang stamp indicates a 1935-1940 manufactured knife

Welcome here.
Nice old knife you have.
It would be nice to see as much of the tang stamp as we can on the main tang.
