Paul,

You got yourself a good un there. ::tu::

And I know what you mean about girlfriends (or in my case wives) not fully appreciating a knife treasure. That's what's great about this site. You get to show your goodies to folks who CAN appreciate them.

That is a beaut!! You come up with some great ones.
Also know what you mean about girlfriends. As I was buying a Case 6235 at a gun show my girlfriend asked me why I was buying it as I already had a Case knife.

My wife used to be like that, but she has gone with me to the last 3 Oregon show and helps me at the table. She is learning a lot about the different brands and materials.

She likes to collect miniature knives and has a dozen or so, several are Imperials.
Last year she bought a single lot of knives on ebay. There were about 16-18 knives in it & she only paid about $20 for the entire lot. There was one decent looking switchblade that had the Harley Davidson logo on it. She sold that one knife for $$27.50 and the guy didn’t even try to bargain with her.

She was really excited..............I think she is getting hooked!
It is fun to share a hobby with her!

Excellent! I love that fat spear blade. Really great old knife. I'm not familiar with the Remingtons, is the 203 a 3 5/8" jack? I'd really apprecate a picture with both blades showing. Thanks for showing!

Congrats are in order on that one, Paul.
That may very well be the nicest EO jack I've ever seen.

yep that would be her . they were asking 9 hundred and fifty . i'm happy they took my offer.i have no idea whats its worth. would wake up in a cold sweat at night thinking about this knife till i made a offer. sounds strange but i love these old survivors.
