OK,I listed this in the Camillus forum,but thought I'd show it here as well..
I guess it's maybe considered a CamBucRem,or a RemBucillus?....or BucRemilus?...
Or just cool knife......

Delete it if it's not allowed since it doesn't have Buck badge....
 
I think it's relevant. It's interesting to see how these companies worked together. Sort of like Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth or Chevrolet/Oldsmobile/Pontiac. I guess it's different, but you know what I mean.
 
What is the connection of your knife to Buck? You did not show the tang marking. Here is a Camillus manufactured Buck knife with a Winchester shield. A 311 Trapper.

jd will have to tell or show what it says. Some that Camillus made had a Remington stamp, but I am guessing this one doesn't. It will have a tang where something has been ground off and Remington ink stamped on. It may have said Buck but more likely was a Camillus actual stamping. The angled bolsters were a Buck standard but a few Camillus sported them also. I have a black sawcut angle bolstered 303 size knife that has a Remington shield and Remington just inked on tang. Camillus would usually overrun their orders by several hundred knives sometimes. Remington could have had those altered fairly cheap as give aways or awards. The rivets could have been added if the knives were taken apart to grind the tangs or during the use of the common parts, per Remington request. 300Bucks

The best guess here is the use of SOME extra Buck parts to make some for Remington. Notice the lack of the clip blade swedge as per the yellow knife above. I think I have a photo of a Camillus that looks like these but with no swedge and a Camillus tang stamp. I think the nail pulls look different also.



To confuse you even more I ran across this photo, but could not find a close-up of the bottom knife. Pop in a buck shield, stamp the tang Buck and you got a Cami Buck. Camillus made knives for a lot of folks. Swedge on the clip blade is right but oh no the bolsters are straight. More straight bolstered stockman were made by Camillus than angled versions.

soon as it's in my hands i'll send more pictures for better understanding of what it is....
it's probably just one of millions like it floating around,but i'd never saw one before and liked it.
but then again,i like alot of the older knives....

jd,
As Desoto is aware of, the Winchester marked scaled 311 is one of a set of two Winchester marked Bucks. A 301 is around also. A long while ago Bear Claw wrote a thread talking about both and the information he had turned up. He found that only about 1,000 each were made. Winchester received them in two shipments, wrapped only in a paper sleeve and they were given out to employee's and distributors.

If you continue your search there are quite a few 300's of several models that have special stamped shields or printing on blades, we generally refer to them as 'advertising models". 300

One thing about all this is that the uninformed (me) might see one of these knives at a shop or yard sale and pass it by thinking it was a cheap Chinese rip off.
