R1123 Original 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.

R1123 Original Bullet?

Post by tbay08 »

This is my first new topic, so I hope I get it right with the photos..
Anyway, a friend of mine just came across this knife. I told him that I would post some photos here to get some "expert" opinions on it. I believe that it could be an original bullet.
Please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,
t

I've examined the photos carefully, and everything looks correct and authentic to me. ::tu:: Theres some pretty decent counterfeits on the market right now that one has to be very careful with, but I'm satisfied yours is no counterfeit. I don't see an etch and theres a little scattered pitting but the blades are full, the jigging is strong and I don't see any cracks in the scales. Thats a quite valuable knife you have there. If its going to be for sale, send me a PM. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you for the fast reply..
Is there any tail tell signs, or pointers that you give me for spotting a fake? I will be happy to look this one over with a fine tooth comb for you.
