two rems

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.

Nice score, the older knife looks like an R1823.

Actually the R1823 probably never had a pattern number. Of the many I've seen, I can only recall two or three that had pattern numbers. These knives were a popular premium and I don't think that Remington put pattern numbers on them.

Nice knives.
