Need Help Identifying Remington Trapper

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.

Need Help Identifying Remington Trapper

Post by jlholdings »

I have a knife I need to identify. It does not have any pattern number stamped on the rear tang. The rear tangs are blank. It is labeled Remington UMC on both blade tangs on the front. Could this be a later licensed Remington from the 70's? Anybody know who made it and the value?

Thats probably a $10 knife at best. It has imported blades, non Remington scales and shield. That knife was neither made by Remington nor is a licensed reproduction.
