Remington knives with an etch

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.

Jim, I find it interesting that the bail is on the incorrect end. I have one just like it and I wasn't sure what to make of it. Here is mine.

Keith. That bail location is just another variation of the knife. You will also find them with the two other blades reversed. Jim

LostValley, that is a very desireable knife. I like the bones, and the blade combination wow! And the shield is icing. That one is a winner. ::handshake::

The "stainless " etch on my knife is unreadable, didn't know that it was like yours. I appreciate you showing yours.

One more. I'm not sure if it has bakelite handles or what? No pattern number.
