All About Pocket Knives

Hello,

I have a Remington R1613 with a circular Remington sheild on the handle. All of the pictures I've ever seen of this knife show it have a bullet sheild. The bolsters are in great shape and it appears that the knife hasn't been tampered with.

I'd put a picture up but I'm not sure how to do so.

Any thoughts?

Figured it out, i think....

Hi MarblesMan,

In Jim Sargent's American Premium Guide to Knives and razors, it says that the R1613 knife was made with a bullet shield and a cartridge shield. The Bullet knife has BL at the end of the pattern number while the cartridge shielded knife does not. I'm not sure what is meant by a cartridge shield, but perhaps yours has one? Sargent lists the bullet knife at $6,000 and the cartrige knife at $1,200.
