Question about my first Remington

So this is the first Remington I have seen in the flesh (or bone), since I have become addicted. I came across this one at a small town antique shop yesterday and had to go home with it...otherwise driving home without it, and thinking about it, would have tormented me. I hope I did well. The tang on the main blade seems to be c 1924-1933, however there are no pattern numbers on the back of the blades. Can someone please help me out with the pattern number so I can do a bit more research. Anyway, here it is...despite the small crack, the knife really feels and looks beautiful to me.

Lawrence,
Real nice.
Is the knife 3 5/8 " ?
I think its a R1823. Wrigley chewing gum knife.
Try searching those.

That is a nice old Remington.
Just got this one last week. Remington Master Knife R3973 at 3 5/8". Can still read the etch in the right light.
Nice snappy blades and the bone is minty.....this one is from 1921-1924. All blades stamped and model # on back of main.
