Remington UMC R282

[eemorse]

Hi all - this knife was my dad's and he had a tag on it that said "Remington UMC R282" and "Rare". I've tried to research this knife elsewhere and haven't had much luck. My question is, is it really rare? and what would be the insurance value if it is? Thank you!

Remington made knives from 1920 to about 1940 , UMC stands for Union Metallic Cartridge ,R282 is a small Trapper 3 3/4" long with Black composition handles.The blades have a good amount of wear so the monetary value is not high. you can check on ebay under advanced sales and completed listing to see what they have sold for, my opinion would be $50 range, not worth insuring.The value is the sentimental value that it was your Dads knife ,and I would carry and use it.

Thank you very much for the info. Now I won’t be afraid to use it! lol

The R282 also came with wood handles. I'd think your knife would bring close to $100. They aren't seen very often. I have one. Its worth between $400-$500. Depending on the buyer and seller.

Thank you espn77. Mine does appear to have wood handles. I found one that sold in 2012 for $80 and that one had a chip on one of the blades! Yours is a beauty
