Remington lobster knife with hallmarks on tang - Identify

[jeknife25]

I need help identifying a Remington lobster pen knife. The tangs are marked with the circle Remington mark used between 1921-1924, Remington UMC inside a circle with no marks on the outside. The tang has three hallmarks that look like a W in one, G in another and e in the last one. The handles are fancy marked metal. Can anyone tell me what model this is and what the hallmarks mean? Thanks

Picture would help. May be a model R7039. Others with the gold metal handles are R7049, R7059, R7069, R7079, R7089, R7099.

I am attaching pictures of the Remington lobster knife. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

That is the R7039 in my books. Not sure what the hallmarks are for but the books list the handle scales as gold. I think they are gold plated. They are from the 1920-1940 good old days. My R7059 has the same hallmarks. The hallmarks made them look good hanging on a gold chain with the gold watch.

Thanks for the information about the knife. I have one like yours. This one has different handles. Your knife has a place for someone to engrave their name or initials. This one doesn't have that area on the handles. I believe this one is a little larger also. This knife is 2 3/4 inches in the closed position.

Heres a couple pages from a Remington catalog on the gold filled knives. You should be able to click on the picture and it will enlarge so that you can see it better.

Thank you for the pictures. My knife appears to be the model RG 7099-2.

Looks like W G C in script letters to me.

I know this is an old post, but I was recently searching for information on these Remington gold handle knives.

I found the identical hall mark attributed to W. G. Clark & Co., Inc. 99 Chestnut St., Attleboro, Massachusetts

The gold scales were most likely installed on the Remington skeleton knife frames by W.G. Clark jewelers.

That catalogue information and tang stamp identification is really helpful. Thank you.
