R4353 Bullet

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.

R4353 Bullet

Post by stockman »

On the vintage 4353 I read in a knife book that it was rare to
see one etched. I checked Mel Brewsters book, he did not say
anything about this. Any opinions on this? I would like to
know what is correct.

Thanks

All the R4353's I see in original catalogs, advertisments, etc do have a blade etch. I would assume that pattern would not be less likely to receive an etch as the others in the Bullet line.
Now if we're talking about today, then I would say yes, its rare to see one that is still etched.
