Real or not?

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.

Real or not?

Post by just bob »

Don't know enough about these to say anything for certain. I have a few of the 4 blade Remington Purina knives and they don't look at all like this. Is this a Remington Scout knife with handles added? From What I can see there is no pattern numbers on the big blade. The pins on the handles don't look factory to me and it also looks as if it had a bail at one time? There are many pics so I'll post the link. If this is a sham someone should post it in the counterfeit forum for discussion.

As a general rule Remington Advertising knives did not have a pattern number on them. Those scales are checker boarded, they have faded quite a bit. I would think that it would have had a bail originally.
