New acquisition. 1984 R1303

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.

That's the Bullet Lockback, right? Good looking knife there, tmk! I have the Baby Bullet Lockback. What's the size of that one?

Those Camillus-made authorized Remington reproductions are really well done. Very nice!

Thanks Tim. Sorry for the late reply. Yes you're right. It's the lockback. It's approx 4 1/2 closed and 7 3/4 open.
