Remington stamp question

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.

Remington stamp question

Post by tc3500 »

I read that the sciprt (no circle) Remington stamp that is underlined means that a knife was
a 'contract' knife built for Remington by another maker. Is that right, and if so, is the same true
for the underlined 'Remington' stamps that are inside the 'circle' ?

Thanks

The "straight line" Remington stamp was the mark of a contract knife. The "Circle" stamp was a Remington manufacture.
