Novice Question re Fake Remington
Posted: Sat Nov 08, 2014 11:39 pm
I'm a novice collector and don't own any Remington knives. I purchased the knife shown below at a flea market today for $7. Looking through my (limited) reference books and also this site I don't see anything like it, so I suspect it may be counterfeit.
It has what seems to be a correct tang stamp (REMINGTON in block letters inside the circle and MADE IN USA outside the circle), and the stamp is sharp and clear. However, there is no pattern number stamped on the blade. The handles look like they are synthetic, maybe Delrin.
It does seem to be reasonably well made. Though the blades are badly stained, fit and finish seems good. The liners are brass. Closed length is 3-7/8". Perhaps one of the resident experts can tell me what I have. Thanks,
Dennis
