looking for advice r203
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2012 2:38 pm
i posted this knife in the q&a forum and although i did recieve some advice it isn't exactly what i was looking for. the cracked scale is a given, no second guessing on that.
i own 3 other r203's and they all have the spear blade with the swedge cut on both sides. this knife has the swedge only on the shield side. i have a few of the old pal blade co. easy opens that have the swedge on the shield side only.

accepting the fact that this is still a remington, but probably put together after 1940. my question is this:
did remington put out r203's with both the single and double swedge? that one is hard for me to find any research on except for what i own.. i have seen different shields on that pattern.
thank you
