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.

That is strange...maybe just a miss print.
I know they're very nice knives,well built by Camillus.

Re: Question on Remington Trademark Etching R1173
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?
