Remington "R 1 6 5"
Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 1:42 am
Does anyone know the value of this Remington two blade single end Jack?
I don’t usually care about the value of a knife for my own collection.
This one is for a client who would like me to do a repair / conversion to the knife.
The mechanic’s of the knife can be repaired easily and most of the blades are intact with 90% or more remaining.
The Pyremite / Celluloid handles are cracked and the customer would like me to replace them with something exotic. He hasn’t picked what he would like me to use yet, maybe ivory.
The number on the main blade is( R 1 6 5). The knife was given as a gift to the client in the late 30's and has been carried on his person ever since.
Just need to know if this knife has any high value or is a rare model before doing any kind of changes as I am not that familiar with Remington spring knives and they‘re value.
A best guesstamate from a knowledgeable Remington collector would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J W
