Camillus reproductions (spotting rejects?)

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.

Camillus reproductions (spotting rejects?)

Post by CampbellAr2 »

Howdy,
I’m new to Remington collecting, and am trying to fill in the gaps of my Dads collection of early reproductions from the Camillus years

There is a plethora of knives out there (particularly eBay) quoting “New in box” or “unused” and I’m really concerned about somebody pushing factory rejects in a sale

Other than vendor ratings, any recommendations to recognize a factory blemish or rouge, or a suspect vendor?

Thanks
Ed
