Question on Remington Trademark Etching R1173

Post by 69gto »

Hello All,
I recently purchased a 1983 Baby Bullet R1173, no cracks in the scales and in mint condition. One thing I have noticed, on the clip blade there is a faded out etching of the Remington trademark and another one on top of it and slightly off center. Although it may be hard to see, I've included a photo and was wondering if anyone has ever come across this before? All the tang stamps are correct and there is no factory second mark. Thanks much for any feedback.

Thanks for weighing in on my post! I really like Remington Bullet repros, their heritage, the build quality, price/value and that they were made in USA. I started collecting the list in Seargent's book several months ago -- only two more to go: R1123, R1613. Besides the box, the R1173 is in pristine condition so I'm hoping that the etching was just a factory misprint and not something else?
