I was wondering if anyone here could post a
pic of a Remington RH 40 with 10" blade
I had a customer buy a Marble's knife from me
and he is looking for one of these
Really great guy and I would love to help him
find one. Thanks in advance for your efforts
Kinda hard to look for one if you never saw one before

RH40's are extremely rare, and I would have to disagree with OZ, the knife that sold on ebay was not that bad a knife, very full and certainly showed some age i.e. the rust and the handle ding, but no major abuse. The top edge is actually file work, the RH 38 and the RH 40 came from the factory with worked top edges, the smaller RH patterns did not. As best as I can recall the 38 and 40's were only made a couple of years 1929-30, which helps explain their rarity. Here are some pictures of my RH38 for reference, same as the RH40 minus two inches.

That's the main reason I called the knife on condition, I didn't think it was file work (would have never guessed). That is one heck of a knife, and a new one to me!
