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.
MS6,
Beautiful collection! Is it possible to give the pattern numbers for the knives you listed? Great resource example and great looking show and tell. Thanks I also noted you been participating in this thread since its inception. Beautiful knives all together.

Excellent! Thank you for taking the time to post the pattern numbers. I knew the patterns for the most part but a few I couldn't see well and struggle with the pattern I.D. Again, beautiful knives my friend!

I missed the Remington thread for a few days. Some amazing knives displayed. Rocky your advertising knife collection is impressive and the RH40 is really nice, but whoa the RH38 is out of this world
msteele6, your R7203 is very nice and I really like the knives with the long pulls!
Roger, it's a big surprise that your only bullet would have a nice etch. In my experience the "masterknife" etch (instead of "trademark") is rare on the Bullets.
Thank you Jerry, I have been away for a day or so taking care of my mother and my in-laws. Have tomorrow off and after a little yard work I have some others to post.Looking for some more from your treasure box Jerry.

This is a special "signature series" engraving offered by Remington
The fire in the pearl skin is amazing, my pictures offer no justice to its true beauty!

Rocky the breadth of your Remington collection is amazing.
I'm working on getting a few pictures taken and re-taken to post a few more. In the meantime, here is a Remington R3553. The etch is gone and I believe the pattern number was inked on and it is gone, too. Still in pretty nice shape.
Thank you so much Jerry. That is a gorgeous knife! Another great example of quality in Remington's hand craftsmanship.I truly look forward to your Remington show and tell collection. Looking at books and catalogs are one thing of importance but to have a picture that you can expand and then use to study a knife is quit another. It is second best to having one live time in hand. IMHO it is still priceless opportunity for top notch education. Thanks again for the look see.
I am very eclectic in my knife collecting. When I started collecting knives I sought out every major antique or vintage cutlery company and tried to buy what I thought had demand and value. After about 300 knives I found my true passion...Remington, I purchased a few older knives but my first goal was to collect the reproduction Camillus/ Remington knives from the 80's to 2001 I stopped there because I felt like Camillus was loosing their edge in production quality and when they closed in 2007 I was very sure I was done with it. My focus was changing over to the Remington antique knife from 1920-1940. I collect everything that appeals to me that was produced by Remington from the late 1800's to 1940. There is so much great material, craftsmanship and quality in what they produce that I can spend the rest of my life collecting and only scratch the surface. I am truly a "Remington Man"! Remington cutlery is my bread and butter but I do like and collect a variety of unique Remington products. I'll show and tell more on my next days off. I have a "few" real humdingers, (IMHO) to drag out!
