Older Remington

You know me,always dabbling in all aspects of knife-nut -ism.Anyhow,Ebay,$21 & change delivered.Pattern R3435,and I think the scales are pyremite?Not sure?The main blade is a long pull spearpoint,I am drawn to that.The small blade was a pen ? I'm guessing,no half stops,good snap,no play.Blades share a single spring.Very slim,nice size at 3-3/16" closed.But here's the thing,I know you guys always say,It could tell stories & all the history,I can relate to that.But I look at it and say,man,if I had a Tony Bose in this pattern,with green canvas,what a knife that'd be ! Just another way of looking at it.A good find,check it out,

That one sure brings back memories, I have one identical, belong to my Grandfather, a conductor on a trolley car that ran between Attalla and Gadsden Alabama, my Grandmother gave it to me long after he passed away. Thanks for sharing, great score, I would not give mine up for that price x 10.

I will head downstairs to my display and open her up. Hasn't been held in months and not opened for a couple of years. We have company now, but I will look in a bit.

But I finally went downstairs to find the old guy. Laid it on the floor and shot it, old hands like mine shake a lot, so photo is bad, but I think it will answer your question.

Thanks James.I see it looks to be a pen.And I cannott believe it looks like the same handle material and all !

I compared it to your photos, and they are an exact match in handle material, my smaller blade has no snap and does not go down into the liners, point actually is outside of them, I suspect the blade was sharpened down quite a bit. Larger blade point is broken off and chipped. My handles are in good shape both sides, no cracks or other problems. Thanks for sharing your photos, I enjoyed the memories.
