R1303 Review

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.

R1303 Review

Post by RalphAlsip »

I don't really have any serious concerns about this knife. This is the first Remington that I obtained and it led me be interested collecting the 1306 and 1123 that I posted earlier.

I would be grateful for you to point out anything unusual if you do happen to notice something. I am thoroughly impressed by the detailed observations that y'all can identify. My knowledge of what to look for has increased already!

My quibbles are the very faint UMC tang stamp, the missing pattern number, and the missing blade etch. I believe these items are missing due to use and cleaning.

The bone handles on this knife are beautiful.

There's nothing suspicious about that knife. That's what an authentic Remington Bullet knife should look like. Very good knife there. ::tu::
