sterling bullet

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.

Collected knives quite a while, just now getting a few modern remingtons. Why do some bullets have sterling and others don't?? :) :?

The knives with sterling silver shields were limited editions, premium priced, and have bone covers instead of Delrin.

They also engraved the bolsters on some most years. The later sterling models did not have an engraved bolster version after around 2000
