I need a few Remington experts if you can help me out.... attached is an image of a remington with tang stamp style that indicates it was made 1924-1933. BUT, its in perfect condition. I've never seen a Remington that wasn't worn or oxidized to some degree. Let me know what you think of it... I found it at a flee market. Pyremite is uncracked and also perfect. It was kept in a small suede pouch

Its not a replica, its an authentic 7945. But I would not say that it is in perfect condition. It should have came from the factory with a crocus finish on the left side of the main blade , along with a Remington trademark etch. Neither of which are evident on this knife. I would venture to say that it has been cleaned at some point in time. Also, the one handle pin appears to have a rough finish on it, it may be just the way I'm seeing it, but it should be slightly rounded and have a very smooth finish on the pin head. Either way it is still a nice knife worthy of collector interest. I should have a 7945 with the factory etching, I'll try to post a picture of one soon.
