The 1994 "Camper" model R4243 from the Camillus delrin series. A very hefty 4 7/8".

( I just went back to the beginning of this old thread and realized I already posted a pile of these knives at the beginning of 2008 !!)
...and all of them with great photography!
I think your pics back then got me into this Bullet-thing
Thanks, Peter

Steve,
I think they are out of production since the mid 80ies after Remington started the Delrin series made by Camillus.
Mike,
as far as I know none of them (Bowen or Camillus) used carbon steel
Here is one more shot of my Trappers, along with the R1303 Lockback on the left:

Thanks Peter. Great looking knives... I can't believe out of all the knives I've owned, I've never had a Remington.
That may just have to change, even if they are SS

Here are a couple of my pics - this is an Original;
I'm definately a Bullet lover. The robust design of this pattern is incredible.
I did a fairly in depth comparison of this pattern and the GEC, you can find it here - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=727064&highlight=remington+gec

It's great to see an Original - thanks for showing it! :thumbup:
And thanks for the link to your comparison as well. After all, the Originals should always be the benchmark for any replicas IMHO. That's what they are about...
Being a replica, Bowen did manage to build them with a nice a flush joint including the spring

Mike,
Great original Trappers - I love them! Especially the unused one is very impressive!
Thanks for sharing them!
What I would love to see as well are original Lockbacks.
Are they out there as well? 1303 or 1306?
Please, let us have a look
Thanks
Peter

R1630 Navigator
Nice Navigator! But I think it never really had a chance to catch the fish underneath
Great photo too!

My eBay Remington Damascus Jumbo Muskrat R4353D arrived just a few minutes ago. I hope it's worth the $41.51 I paid. 
Big knife. GEC #25 for scale.
The amber bone and damascus on this 2000 built knife really work well together. iPhone pictures don't do it any justice. It's a really beauty. No box/papers with this one so into the pocket it goes!
Any idea who made it?

Inspired by Mike's new inbound Remington EDC, I decided to take some updated images of my original R1123 (1930-1933 vintage) while the thought was fresh in my mind...
I've never seen that one. Thanks for posting the pics. Looking at the pictures of it, just took me way back in time, which was a nice feeling after just getting home from a 15 hour day at work.
No doubt someone had many fond memories of that knife. I can just see an ol boy walking into the general store, and seeing that knife brand new with the incredible bone. I'm sure he had a big smile on his face as he left with that one in pocket. Had he only known that 70 years later, there would be those of us that cherish knives like that, and it is still very serviceable
