Remington acorn shield

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.

Remington acorn shield

Post by osuchem »

I was wondering if anybody has a list of all the patterns Remington made with an acorn shield? If not what would be a good book/ price guide to purchase. Thanks

That would be a pretty large list. Stewart and Ritchie book is as good of a modern reference book as I've found.

That would be any pattern with a punch if I'm not mistaken? Be careful, I've seen knives on eBay with an acorn shield and no punch and vice versa, there are quite a few cobbled knives out there.

The only thing I would say is if it has an acorn shield it 100% should have a bunch. But not necessarily the other way around. I hope that makes sense.

I’m no Remington guru, but that’s how it was explained to me.

All factual information is great to know, and by all means set the record straight. I was moreso correlating an acorn shield to the inclusion of a punch from what I have been told.
