It looks like whoever worked on it used brass, or at least something other than NS to replace the pivot pins and at least one of the bolsters, that I can see, got mangled up in the process. ::facepalm::

Post it and your question over in the repair and restoration forum viewforum.php?f=37. Some folks who are good at it might see it there, who might not see your post in the Remington forum.

Good luck with it. It’s a shame it’s been buggered up.

The punch is about half missing also.

Yea, definitely another issue. Hard to tell how much is missing. Ninety years of use have left scars. I moved my pics to the other site hoping for more advice, not much so far. I still want to revive the old knife as much as I can without harming it.
