Unusual REMINGTON MUSKET DADDY BARLOW

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.

Cobbled knife - looks like someone has replaced the original blade. Fairly recent knife - within the past 30 years I believe. There are several of the original, unaltered versions for sale on eBay.

While technically I should compare their shields first, I am ready to bet 5 cents that that Barlow left the Camillus factory looking exactly like my Remington Musket Daddy Barlow. The deep stamped trade name in the bolster is a give away. Camillus made those Barlows for Buck, Remington, probably other wholesale buyers and branded them with their own name. They can be found with both of Camillus' standard blade steels, 1095 carbon and 440A stainless. The conspicuous blade pivot pin suggests that was disassembled. A previous owner cut the slot through the area where its nail nick was or the blade was replaced. However, it might have lost its tang stamp to heavy polishing.

In like new in box condition your Remington is about a $30 to $35 knife through eBay auctions.
