Remington Bullet 253 age
Remington Bullet 253 age
My grandfather was an avid knife collector and I remember back in the 80's when he bought this knife. His collection was given to my father, now I have it. I'm trying to determine the age of this bullet knife. From the stamp it looks like 1924-1933 but the UMC may be worn off. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say it's 1933-1940
Looks like a nice used R1253

Nice single blade lockback Bullet. I believe I noticed some nice etch still very visible. John

Thanks for your input. I was looking at the Remington stamps guide and it doesn't match any year range unless the UMC has worn off. The 1935-40 stamp uses block letters but no "made in USA". This is all new to me, what condition would you consider the knife to be in?
Re: Remington Bullet 253 age
Grading knives is very subjective but if the handles have no chracks or chips and the knife has no function issues I would grade it on the low side of excellent. Nice knife!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
