The knife has the round stamp, just can't figure the model number out?

Maybe an R201? Remington apparently didn't always put the pattern numbers on their advertising knives.

After a more careful consideration that knife may not have a pattern number. It may be a special order knife due to the can opener.

Not real sure.

ENDERS?

AND A COUPLE OTHERS.....ALL ON EBAY EXCEPT ONE ,THAT IS IN A LOCAL ANTIQUE STORE....
I WAS TOLD B4(FORGET WHERE I HEARD THIS)....AND AGAIN BY THE OWNER OF THE LOCAL ONE...
THAT REMINGTON NEVER MADE THIS PATTERN........................
I HAVE NO CLUE...... ::td:: WISH I DID KNOW MORE ON THEM.... ::tu::

I DO AGREE...REMINGTON DID NOT MARK ALL THEIR KNIVES WITH PATTERN #'S

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE PRO'S SAY ::tu:: ::tu:: ::super_happy:: ::handshake::

I have 3 of these knives all in bone. None of mine show a model number. There are no pins holding the handles on. My guess is that somewhere along the line replacement handles were glued/epoxied on.

I TAKE EXCEPTION WITH SARGENT CALLING THIS A REMINGTON R1773.THE CATALOGS AND RESEARCH I HAVE ALL STATE THE REMINGTON R1773 AS AN EASY OPEN JACK WITH 1 CROCUS POLISHED ETCHED SPEAR BLADE AND 1 BLUE GLAZED PEN BLADE. NICKLE SILVER CAP AND BOLSTER; BRASS LINING; BONE HANDLE, CREST SHIELD CLOSED AT 3 1/2" ETCHED AND TANG STAMPED WITH LOGO AND MODEL # R1773. IT IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE R203 BUT THE R203 IS 3 5/8" CLOSED.

THE KNIFE SHOWN IS AN ADVERTISING KNIFE WITH A SCREWDRIVER CAP LIFTER, WITH OR WITHOUT BAIL, NOT BONE HANDLED AND THUS CLEARLY EXPLAINS WHY IT IS NOT TANG STAMPED WITH THE MODEL# R1773. DID REMINGTON MAKE THIS KNIFE? POSSIBLY, IF SO ONLY IN A LIMITED NUMBER FOR THE PRIVATE USE OF THE ORDERING COMPANY AND WITH MORE COST EFFICEINT MATERIALS. THE TANG STAMP AND MODEL # REPRESENTS THE QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP OF THE REMINGTON PRODUCT AND ALLOWED THE CONSUMER AND BUSINESSMAN EASY REORDER OF THE REMINGTON PRODUCT. REMINGTON DID NOT PRODUCE THIS KNIFE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC BY ALL ACCOUNT SEARCHED.

THE BOTTOM LINE I BELIEVE IS YOU CANNOT USE THE EXACT SAME MODEL # THAT REMINGTON HAS FOR ONE PARTICULAR KNIFE,THEN USE THE SAME MODEL # ON A DIFFRENT KNIFE ALL TOGETHER AND CALL IT THE SAME KNIFE.

The OP knife has obviously been re-handled.

The shield is poorly fitted and there is no sign of any pins.
