Pattern numbers

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.

I have no proof for say. Only what I've seen. I'm going to guess around 1930-32. I dont think they were ever exclusively only ink after that day though. I've seen late 30's knives that were stamped.

I have no proof either, but 1933 is close. I think that's when Dupont invested in Remington and they immediately began cost cutting measures.
