Old circle Remington easy open

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.

Does anyone know the number and age of this Remington ?
I rescaled this knife.

Is this a straight line Remington or a circle?

MOST circle Remington's have a pattern number stamped, however, I'm less sure about the straight line models since they were contract made kinves.

Remington only made knives for a pretty short period c 1920 - 1940.

This is a circle Remington, I don't see any numbers on blades

From what I can see the tang looks like this, date would be 1924 to1933

Is the cap lifter stamped?

I can't find a knife with this blade configuration in Stewart and Ritchie.

There is nothing stamped on the cap lifter only the picture I posted of the tang.
I'm not sure where else to look?
