Tang stamp date

[Ridgegrass]

Found this old Remy knife" today. It's in fair to good shape. The stamp does not appear in the lists given on this site. The underline is discontinuous below the 'g'. I'm guessing it's late 30's production like the other plain scripts, maybe even the lower quality contract line. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on it. Thanks J.O'.

J.O., here’s my best try at giving you answers to your query.
The tang stamp on your knife is called a Straight Line or Script marking Remington stamp. It was produced from 1935-1940 as per Goins’ Encyclopedia, see pictures below.
These were stamped on lesser quality knives and manufactured by other cutlery companies sanctioned by Remington as “Specialty “ contract knives. It “should not have” a pattern number, ( not completely sure of this at present ), as it was not part of their production line or Jobber’s catalog for reorder. They are consider original Remington knives and have fair market value (based on condition and advertising), as well the desire of collectors.
