new/old remington?

[peshikthe]

i just got a remington barlow, but i have a few questions about it. first the stamp on the front of the main blade(circle remington/block letter/with made in usa around shield) 33-35 stamp, has a pattern number (reverse of main blade) is stamped 9505 without a r in front of the number. it is a long pull(squared ends) on main blade, and the pen has a circular nail pull. without a stamp or number on it. is this right or has someone replaced the pen blade? ill try to get some pics of the stamp, but it is a super nice stamp and clean and clear with nice original patina. any help would be appreciated.

This is a newer Remington knife.

I don`t know who made it but it was not made in the original Remington knife factory that is for sure.

so did remington use the old 33-35 stamp and a new pattern number?

Remington got out of the knife business at the start of WW II.

They sold all the knife making equipment to Pal Cut. Co.

All cutlery with their name on it after that time was made on contract by other companies.

Camillus was the last company, that I know of, that made knives for Remington.

Camillus went out in 2007, I don`t know who is making knives for Remington now

Most of the newer knives I have seen had the old style Remington stamp, I don`t know what system they used for the pattern numbers on these newer knives.

Someone who knows newer knives can probably fill in the blanks for you

The knife you got there was not made in china, but made by Camillus here in the US. The US made Remingtons are currently being made by Bear.
