Hi Remington Collector...
I see a few things wrong here. I'm sure you spot a lot more than me, but I'll point out the most glaring problems I see. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The Genuine Stag scales are for sure replacements. It doesn't look like remington stag, and I don't think remington ever put stag on any toothpick pattern.
The tang stamp is the straight line style, which was used on less expensive knives. If this was a real genuine stag toothpick, it would not be a "less expensive knife".

Very good. Remington never made a toothpick pattern with stag handles. I don't recall ever seeing a straight line Remington toothpick with bone handles, all the straight line Remington toothpicks I have saw had black imitation bone handles on them, which I suspect the knife in question had when it left the factory. The gap between the liners and the backspring, along with the one nickel silver pin and two brass pins indicate the knife has been taken apart and reworked by someone with less than professional skills.
