Help with Remington trapper ID

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.

Help with Remington trapper ID

Post by kossetx »

Morning folks, I picked up this green bone full size trapper the other day. It is unlike any Remington trapper I have ever seen. It has the Camillus era tang stamps but different blade grinds than an R12. I thought it might be a Bear but it differs from their knives too by bolsters, grinds and pins. It is stamped Made in USA. Shield is really different too. Any ideas?
