Remington Bullet Pre40

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 Bullet Pre40

Post by IMBand »

Trying to figure out what this knife is worth so I can make a safe offer.
Have asked for better pics, but can anyone comment based on this one poor pic?.......lol
Other side bone is said to be complete and the knife was "in the family since the 30's".
Thanks in advance for any/all comments.

I would say that knife has investment potentional. The blades and backsprings needs oiling, the bolsters and bullet polished, the bone shined up a little. There doesn't appear to be any damage to either scale and the bladers appear to be full, although tarnished and stained. I would definately be a buyer at that price. ::tu::

The knife looks great except for the short malformed skinner blade . That would reduce the value considerably . I'm not up on the current value of Rem. bullets , but I would think that it would be a good investment in the $400 - $500 range . I am sure that someone on this forum could give you a better estimate .

The one blade looks SHORT and well used.
