My NIB Reproduction Bullet

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

My NIB Reproduction Bullet

Post by Bill-in-Texas »

Hey All,

I'm new around here but, thought I'd finally share with my first post in the Remington forum.

I came across this knife online and thought I was buying a 1995 model R1273...

I had not been too familiar with the reproduction bullet knives and I found what I thought was another example of this knife on a Remington Bullet Knife seller's site. So, I thought "Nice... A 1995 vintage with stainless steel and Delrin handles."

-And, I bought it. $30, shipped(!).

I now know it wasn't the R1273 but an R1273B that I had bought! It has jigged bone scales and is flawless in every way!
I had wondered why the "original" box was green, and not beige. Now, I know! ::ds::

Thanks for viewing... This may be my best knife score ever! -Bill
