Damsel in Distress!! Help Identify REMINGTON Pocket Knife!

[LeeGee]

I have a Remington 9506 pocket knife that belonged to my dad and I can't find any information about it. When I do an Internet search a completely different Remington knife pops up but with the same #.
I found one site that posted exact picture of my knife with the description:
Remington 9506 Yellow Muskrat Gun Choke USA NIB; claims it was sold at auction but has no asking or sold price (unless I register and give them my credit card info. I think not). I would like to know the value of the knife I have so I can price all of my Remington's and hopefully sell as a group.
Any information at all would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to organize my dad's knife "collection" and it can be quite tedious when you don't know what the hell you're doing
Thank you!!
Lisa

it is a : Remington 9506 Yellow Muskrat Gun Choke
made in the USA by CAMILLUS....as remington was/is long out of business.............
prolly made in late 80's to 90's??????? i think/GUESS
came in YELLOW or GREEN that fades to yellow on ends

COOL KNIFE........

[LeeGee]

Thanks for the info junebug! And, yes it is a cool knife
Do you think it has the same value as the green/yellow knife?

[junebug]

I WATCH FOR THESE "STYLE" (GREEN/YELLOW DELRIN) REMINGTONS REGULARLY ON EBAY...........

I WOULD SAY...IF IT IS NEW IN BOX
NEVER EVER USED FOR ANYTHING!!!!!
YOU COULD GET $40-50


USED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM (EVEN W/ BOX)...OR ANY SCRATCHES ETC., JUST FROM TAKING OUT OF BOX,STORING,SHOWIN' OFF TO BUDDIES,ETC
I WOULD SAY ABOUT $20-$30


THESE PRICES ARE SHIPPED TO NEW BUYER!!!!!!!!(SHIPPING USUALLY $5)
HOPE THIS HELPS

YEAH AND IT IS CONFUSEING HOW THEY USED THE SAME PATTERN NUMBER ON KNIVES THAT DIFFER.........ON THE GRREN to yellow fade UNITS......9506 IS A REG OL MUSKRAT.....
ON MOST OF THE YELLOW UNITS.....THEY ADDED A GUN/HUNTING RELATED TOOL

PS.....WELCOME TO AAPK!

[remington collector]

Junebug has told you correctly, used $25, NIB $45.

[LeeGee]

Thank you for the information junebug and remington collector! You have indeed been helpful! It hasn't been used but it's not in the box and was stored loosely with other knives so would be considered used and likely around the $20-$25 range.
I'm sure I'll be posting again to pick someone's brain about another knife

[LeeGee]

Thanks for the welcome junebug! Im out of my element but joining this forum and requesting info from those who know what they're talking about is a lot easier than trying to piece stuff together from the internet!

You know I hate to think about my family selling off my knife collection when I pass. Why can't they just keep them to help remember me.? To me, my knife collection is not about money. It's about making me happy. I love the history behind old knives. To each his own I guess.

I can certainly understand why someone would not wish to hold on to an entire collection of knives, particularly if they aren't a knife collector themselves. It's one thing to hang on to that knife dad carried in his pocket for years and quite another to hang on to the dozens (or hundreds) of knives dad accumulated over the years.
I definitely don't anticipate my family will enshrine my knife collection when I'm gone. My knives have made me happy, and I hope my survivors will do something with them that makes them happy too.

[LeeGee]

RandyFew, I am not offended and I understand where you're coming from. My dad had hundreds of knives and he collected because it made him happy. It's been 5 years since my dad passed and my mom would like me to sell what I can.
Philco, you hit the nail on the head...my dad had hundreds of knives to choose from yet he only ever carried one and that is the only one I will hang on to.
His Case served him well

[FRJ]

A fine old well used and well loved knife right there.
That's what it's all about.

Phil you nailed that response and I appreciate that his daughter is saving his favorite knife. I feel the same and hopefully my collection will go to someone that appreciates it as we all do.

That yellow Case...you can't put a price on that.

Priceless

[LeeGee]

Priceless is exactly right glennbad:)!!

I don't have a passion for collecting knives but I do understand the desire.
My dad always carried a pocket knife. It was an extra appendage. Some of my fondest memories are of sitting on my dad's lap or walking through the orchard while he peeled an apple and handed me a slice from the end of his trusty pocket knife! He also cleaned his nails and picked his teeth with it but that's what it's for, right?!

I would like his knives to go to someone who will appreciate them for what they are. I sell for the sake of my mother who could use the money now versus the family vultures pouncing after she is gone

He liked to give not just collect. If he liked and respected you then you walked away with his friendship and a new pocket knife

Keep a close eye on dad's old yellow handled Case knife.

Those things are FAMOUS for the yellow decomposing and rotting the brass liners. I had one that my grand dad carried, put it up for a LOT of years, when I got it our the handles were pretty much dust and one of the liners was eaten away to pretty much nothing.

Don't know if it's a shadow or the handles going South on yours but the dark areas give me cause for concern.

I hope it is nothing more than shadows and that your knife doesn't end up like mine did.

Here's a classic example of Case's yellow handles that have gone South.

[glennbad]

Now that you mentioned that, I think that IS what is happening to that knife. Now, it could have been stored with another bad knife, but look at the spey in that second pic, it has the classic sign of an outgassing handle, where the blade has a different shade on the top where it sticks out of the liner.

Like wullie, said, keep an eye on that.

[treefarmer]

The tang stamp on Miss Lisa's 3318 knife appears to be in the 1993-1999 time line, can't make out the number of dots, but not many. When did Case begin using Delrin handles ? Am I wrong thinking this knife doesn't have celluloid type scales based on date of mfg.?

Unfortunately it's not a shadow
I've kept it in a wooden box (for past 5 yrs) with other memorabilia but no other knives. I can't recall what it looked like when I initially acquired it. In my non existent knowledge of knives I thought the discoloration might have been from him having it in his pocket for so long the fabric stained it.
I know, I know...

Is there anything I can do to prevent further damage or have I condemned it with my ignorance?

Also, thanks to all for your input! It is much appreciated!

I believe you are correct about the time frame Treefarmer! There is only one dot.

Lisa,
Nothing you have done has contributed to its current state. It was destined to degrade and there is really nothing you can do, (or could have done) to stop it. The only option , as I see it, is take the old handles off and have something new put on it.

Mark,
Thanks for the info and the advice. I guess 'time' is the culprit here
