R4466 Remington Baby Bullet Muskrat on eBay

**Ironmage** · 10-01-2012, 01:02 PM

I don't want to say your wrong but the 4466 was one of Remington patterns and one of the most prized.

This Camillus produced in 1988 is the only 4466 that I could find in my searches..

Perhaps you could kindly provide an image of an authentically produced Remington R4466 built back in the day??.

I wish I had one to take a pic of but I don't.I will see if I can scan the one I'm looking at out of the book and post it as soon as I figure out how.
But it say's "R4466
PATTERN:muskrat Bullet
BLADES:spey&muskrat
HANDLES:stag

It is my favorite pattern.

Again, LG IV, pg 216 the 4466 is clearly referenced with a value indicated.
Its says, well, just read it for your self

It LG IV wrong or just vague?

ok but does this answer the question; is it fake, built from parts, or the real deal????

to add fuel to the fire, Price/Zalesky has the R4466 at $5200

. . . .

It LG IV wrong , Arr just vague?

Hey good catch, Arathol.. Don't know how I missed that one.. I am staring at my copy right in front of me..

Yes, a little vague on specifics on that particular section, but there's the listing.. No details like, dates, closed length, handle options, and such but its there.

**Ironmage** · 10-01-2012, 05:45 PM

That certainly seems like a more realistic price.
I just copied what was out of the Remington Knives Past&Present.
From what I can read it came in stag only.

**Ironmage** · 10-01-2012, 05:46 PM

Yes it is a fake.

Well, the 4466 had stag handles and the ebay knife clearly has jigged bone. Its at the least been rehandled. The bone looks very similiar to what Camillus used on some of its Remington repros.

**Ironmage** · 10-01-2012, 05:51 PM

I thought the same thing.

**sunnyd** · 10-01-2012, 06:21 PM

I'd still like to see a good picture / image of the original authentic Remington R4466... anyone??

**Gary G** · 10-01-2012, 07:15 PM

Thanks for the discussion, boys, but now I want one.

I have looked in the old prints from 1922 to 1931 and have not saw one yet.They must not have made many thus the $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 price tag I guess.
I do have pics of it in books but it does not give a date.

**bernard_levine** · 10-01-2012, 11:54 PM

Well, I never thought to check LG4. I must have seen at least one, or I would not have listed it that way.

Page 58 of C5 catalog, genuine stag handles. There it is. And yes, I have seen them.
More of an oval handle die than the 1988 equal-end version.

Not listed in Mel Brewster's BULLETS book. Not listed by Price/Zalesky in Official Guide.

And the OP knife is still a fake.

BRL...

**Gary G** · 10-02-2012, 05:54 AM

Stewart and Ritchie (Remington Knives past and present, 2005) lists R4466 as a "muskrat bullet" [sic], "spey and muskrat" blades, "genuine stag", 3 3/4". It's on page 156.
And the price? [drum roll] ............. $5,000.

**sunnyd** · 10-02-2012, 07:48 AM

The sellers original listing was apparently withdrawn.. Here's the new listing by the seller with the same knife. His new rambling description is entertaining..

My brother-in-law sent me these photos of his "moose bullet" for sharing in this discussion. Poor condition and poor photos, but another of the similar bullets. It's R4353, and called a "Moose" in Stewart and Ritchie's book (Remington Knives past and present, 2005). BTW, this pattern had the bullet facing the other way (also shown that way in advertisements - according to my b-i-l).
