High Condition R703 Hawkbill

[JohnR]

Grabbed a very nice Remington R703 when it popped on Ebay as a BIN the other day, seller only had one bad picture but took a chance on it.

What showed up is a mint R703,doubt it was ever used, if I'm looking at the tang stamp correctly 1920's to 1930's.

John,you hit a home run with that one my friend!

[pearlroosterman]

Very nice! Congrats. Hard to find mint. Most were used up. Thanks for sharing. John

[JohnR]

Thank you guys, appreciate it. This is probably the highest condition old knife I've been able to add to the collection,hard to believe it made it all these years without being used and not rusting,as Pearlroosterman stated most of these hawkbills were well used. I like the size of this knife,a little on the smaller side for a pruner.

S-C-O-R-E!!! You rolled the dice and it paid off. Well done Sir. Very nice indeed.
