NEED HELP ON TANG STAMP REMINGTON( full pic)

[cato]

IS THIS A EARLY STAMP, NOT IN LIST OR IS IT A CONTRACT STAMP
IF SO, BY WHO

[knife7knut]

New one on me cato.Looks almost Germanic with the French ivory scales.I would have to say early as I don't think Remington used much of that handle material except maybe on florists' knives.

That's not an authentic Remington factory tang stamp. I don't think that its a contract stamp either. I saw that knife on Ebay and I'm of the opinion that its not a genuine Remington.

Don't look like a match

Cato a few years back someone was making knock offs on Office Knives. I bought a really nice looking
one I think it was a Keen Kutter, only to find out it was not authentic. Many different tang stamps were
out there.

CATO, I LOOKED THROUGH 6-7 REMINGTON CATALOGS AND IN CATALOG NO. C-5 PAGE 19, CATALOG NO. C-30 PAGE 33 AND THE REMINGTON DUPONT CUTLERY,(REPRINT FROM THE 1936 CATALOG) SHOWS THE R6785-W WITH PYREMITE HANDLES AND THE MODEL # 6175-W WITH PYREMITE HANDLES. THE 6785 IS 3 3/8 IN. CLOSED AND THE 6175 IS 3 3/4 IN. CLOSED. ALL KNIVES HAVE 2 BLADES 1 SPEAR, CROCUS POLISHED AND 1 ERASING BLADE, BLUE GLAZED. BOTH MODLES HAVE BRASS LININGS.THE LETTERING ON THE HANDLES ARE VERY DIFFRENT THAN YOURS AND THE MAIN BLADE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SPEAR BLADE AND LOOKS TO HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN ALTERED.
AS A REMINDER, REMINGTON TOOK GREAT PRIDE AND MADE NO EXCEPTION TO EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THEIR POCKET CUTLERY. "ALL" ORIGIONAL REMINGTON KNIVES WERE MADE IN THE USA AND MOST LIKELY AT THE BRIDGEPORT, CONN. PLANT. "ALL" ORIGIONAL REMINGTON KNIVES WERE STAMPED WITH A FACTORY # TO AID IN VENDOR RE-ORDERING AND ALL HAD A REMINGTON TRADE MARK STAMPED ON EACH BLADE AS A GURANTEE OF QUALITY. LOOKING AT THE GOINS' ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CUTLERY MARKINGS, YOUR TANG STAMP DOES NOT LIST AMONG THEM. OTHER CUTLERY COMPANIES WERE GIVEN PERMISSION FROM REMINGTON TO PRODUCE CONTRACT REMINGTON KNIVES HENCE THE VARIATIONS THAT ARE MOST OFTEN BROUGHT UP IN QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE VALIDITY OF A TRUE REMINGTON MADE KNIFE. I HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH THE REMINGTON COLLECTOR THAT THIS IS "NOT" AND ORIGIONAL REMINGTON MADE KNIFE AND ALSO DOUBT IT'S A CONTRACT KNIFE BASE ON OTHER EXAMPLES THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS. SORRY...I TOO HAVE BEEN MISGUIDED IN THE PAST BUT HAVE LONG SINCE TRUSTED IN RESEARCH AND SOUGHT OUT GUIDANCE BEFORE BUYING. HOPE THIS HAS HELPED. HAPPY HUNTING, ROCKY
