ID Help on This Remington R12 Stag Trapper, Please

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.

This one recently came way in an auction lot (not fleabay), with no box, and has no pattern stamp or date stamp. I would just like to find out who made it and when. Any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing it might have been made by Camillus? Thanks! :D

I could be wrong but it looks like a green box R12 from the mid '90's. I believe Queen manufactured those. Nice looking knife!

PS- Just want to correct (thanks to Tallguy's post below) that it was Camillus who made those Remington knives from that era, not Queen. Queen made the Winchester repros.

Pretty sure Camillus made all the Rem repros from that era.
