All About Pocket Knives

I recently purchase a Remington R5 on eBay and it's a UMC with Remington in a straight font which would make it 1924-1933. My questions is I read where another company was making Remington's but reusing some of the older stamps, how I be sure of the age?
Thank you!

That's a dandy question!! I'm waiting for the answer to that one myself.

TJ,
Here are pictures of mine. If anyone can tell me theses are 1925-1933 instead of a repro by Camillus 1982-present I would be so happy. Not to say that a Camillus isn't another great name in cutlery I would just prefer it to be an original.
Thanks~

It`s not an original Remington made knife.

Miller,
Thank you for confirming my suspicions, so I'm assuming it's from the 80's? Oh well it can still be a nice EDC. It just looked too knew and the blade steel didn't look very old. Lesson learned!
Thanks for the reply!

I find it interesting that this stamp never shows up in the definitive CASE tang stamp guides.
Been told it was 1903-1905.

You are correct sir!

THANKS!!

Just bought a knife it has a tang mark of 3 men in a boat anyone ever seen this mark ?

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard. Can you provide pictures?

Welcome to AAPK.

Please post a picture or scan of the tang stamp.
It is really hard to visualize a tang stamp from a verbal description unless it is really common & most folks are familiar with it.

Are there any words, letters or numbers with this pictorial tang stamp?
They could prove to be helpful in identifying the knife.

I just now stumbled across this thread. I was going to contribute, but it seems everything I know has already been listed. Good job fellas!

Does it look like ths?

knives-are-quiet posted these tang stamps on another topic.

Here's one I got at my grandfather's, regarding the Winchester Repo's. He said the metal handled Winchester knives were made by Utica, all the rest were made at the Queen factory. They aren't tangs exactly, but they mention the tang stamp, and is still good info to have for these.

Kastor family of tang stamps.

Grabbed that one Waz. Thanks.

Anyone have a 'super-spy-decoder-ring' that can make sense of all the numbers on the back side of this 1946-1956 Imperial equal end jack?

Now I get it, Thank you, Mr. Dirt!
As usual, I've come to the right place for all my knife related questions. You guys amaze me with the sheer amount of cumulative knowledge y'all have at your fingertips. I can't thank you enough for sharing it so willingly (and also for being so patient with me). This thread in particular is a veritable gold mine of information.

Cheers & Aloha,

Anybody have a chart on Carl scheipler or German eyes?

Does anyone have a chart for Miller Bros tang stamps?

Anyone have the stamp date(s) for the Utica arched stamp and the Utica streight line stamp?

Thanks, Joe

I'm looking for info on the "Whale" tang stamp, (Solingen I think?). I looked, but couldn't find it listed on this thread. I've seen it here on AAPK, but can't seem to find it now, any info would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
