remington scout

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.

Is this a Remington scout with a Wadsworth blade? Wonder if the seller knows this?

The star in the handle looks like red celluloid. Remington used a nickel silver star. The bail does not look like a Remington bail. I don't think that was a Remington frame.

German made.Pin in the bolster is a different color, typical of German made knives. Also that bail is common on German made scout knives.
