1920's Remington R1123

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.

1920's Remington R1123

Post by AREMINGTONSEDGE »

Is this the real deal? My research says it is and River Valley knives and swords are pretty reputable dealers.
Any confirmations would be much appreciated since I bought it! Thanks in advance, Rocky

The bone is right,I have never seen one with the pattern# was stamped like that but it looks ok. It has had the crap buffed out of it but it would be a great find. I am no expert,that is just my opinion and there is many hear that could give you a better answer.

Everything looks 100% authentic to me. It has some very light scattered pitting in a few areas, and it has been cleaned but still its a nice original Remington Bullet. ::tu::

I have the same model knife for sale if anyone needs one.
Life would be meaningless if we couldn't wish for anything.
