Bullet Shields Only - All Manufacturers Welcome

Your blade on the knife pictured is stamped R1173 - D the D standing for Damascus. The blade on my knife is stamped R1178 although the inner sleeve of the packaging has R1178 SB the SB meaning Silver Bullet. Like I said; nothing is written in stone about these knives or any other knives for that matter. All I can say is that the knife I have was a part of a Special Collectors Edition so who knows for sure what was going through the minds of the procurers when these knives were ordered.

Nice R1173 - D by the way.

I thought it was odd that they would change the numbering system. Mine is marked 1173....and all my bone handled Silver Bullets are marked correctly according the the Remington system...

I have two 1178s, the silver bullet edition like Modoc ED, and a delrin version. Pic for reference. B2FD3D41-965B-47FA-8F10-D8094944363C.jpeg

Yes, I have some of the same green and yellow boxed series, but they are stamped with the correct numbers. I wonder why the change for that model....? Maybe they just used the same tooling for all the different variations to cut cost?

Thanks. That's good. The Remington knives that Remington commissioned from Camillus starting in 1982 have glued shields. At least I haven't seen one made from 1982 through 2000 or so with a pinned shield. I gotta say though that I've never run across a Remington knife made in the 1982 through 2000 time frame where a shield has come off the knife.
 
To the me the Remington bullet shields just look right. Some traditional bullet shields just look disproportionate. Remington looks good to me, thats part of the reason i gone one of the Prospectors.
