remington humpback/lockback whittler

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.

Here is one pictured in "Remington Knives - Past and Present" by Stewart and Ritchie. Also one listed in Sargent's 6th edition. Not exactly what the OP was asking for (ie. wanted photos of actual knives, not catalogue images).

I can`t see paying anywhere near what the "book" price on these is ::huff:: ::uc::

If by chance I came across an original for a reasonable price I would buy it ::nod:: ::pray::
