Went to the mailbox today and found an envelope and letter marked "COVID care package". Unsure of what might be inside I opened it and found this rehabbed Remington. What a surprise! I had sent a few parts knives to DocB sometime ago and there was not much useful in the lot. He picked out this old Remington, rehandled it with stabilized Mammoth and sent it back to me. Wow! He left the patina on the blades which I agree with. An old soldier fit for the pocket on my jeans. Doc this bomb left a crater. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Sorry my pics do not do it justice. ::nod:: ::handshake::

Looks like a good bombing to me! ::tu::
Very nice! Just lookin' at the pictures, you would think the handles were some type of wood but stabilized Mammoth looks to be special for sure.
Is the shield the one that came with the old Remington originally?
Congratulations to the bomber and the bombed.

Philip, it had no handles when I sent it to him. They were long gone if I remember right. I think he did a great job on it. The acrylic gives the mammoth a look of wood. Thanks. ::handshake::

Man, when Floyd pays it forward, he does it in STYLE. He sent this 100th anniversary Mini-Trapper to me. It has wood handles made from the floorboards of one of the original Case factory buildings. Man, this is a slick motor scooter. Floyd, ::not_worthy:: I'm not worthy. ::not_worthy:: but thank you anyway. You're a credit to AAPK. I'm so glad you're here.

No, Phillip, I do not have one of those. The only one I've ever seen for sale on eBay just happened to come up when my budget was already tapped out. Of course, a minor inconvenience like having no money has never proven to be much of an obstacle for OCD Monkey; nevertheless, it sold for way more than even he could justify at the time.

BTW...I'm still wondering if the "FB" in the pattern stamp stands for "floor boards" or "Foster Brook" (the old Case factory from whence the wood was salvaged to make the handle? ::hmm:: )

Q you could be and probably are right on the FB. I know that the handles were made from the floor boards. I knew the name of the factory at one time but as with many things I once knew it is gone now. Thanks for your input. ::handshake::

I finally found my original post from when I got this and after a little more research Q (as usual) nailed it. The handles came from the floor boards from the Foster Brooks Plant. I googled Case Knives Foster Brooks and found a couple of referenced to it. Congrats Q. ::handshake:: ::dang::

The knife measures 5 3/8" in the closed position. The "FB" in the pattern number stands for Foster Brook, which was the area in Bradford, PA in which the Case factory was located during the 1920's thru the 40's.This knife features authentic and historical wooden handle material from the long since closed Case Foster Brook manufacturing plant. The beautiful Wood handles were, at one time, actually a portion of the wooden floor inside that Case Foster Brook Plant.The Clip blade is stamped on the front tang with Case XX 1889-1989 and is etched with "Case XX Tested Centennial 1889-1989." The front tang is also pattern stamped with FBC1050 SS. The "FB" in the pattern stamp designates this knife as having the authentic Case Foster Brook Floor Board handles. The Shield is a special oval Case Centennial Shield and reads "Case XX 1889 1989." The right front Bolster features the Case Long Tail C serialization and the serial number #1903. The knife comes in the original special display Box with the Case 100th Anniversary logo, and also comes with the original COA READ MORE
