It took me a while to find this thread, I am collecting the R- series 1-10, sort of, and have a few other Remingtons I enjoy carrying. The R-4 is the latest and a R-8 is on the way. When I get the 8 I'll be back to show them in order and ask some questions on variations.

Cheers,

Question, does anyone know why camillus only had a swedge on the show side on knives with swedges?

EDIT: never mind, found it.

The 3 and 5 spot are not R-# designated but are representative of the the type of knife. I have seen some r-5 (gentleman's knife) stamped tangs that have derlin covers and some with embossed metal like the example shown. Are both original or did one come out before the other?

Thanks,

These are different models. The original R-5 had Delrin handles. R-5W (R-5M) - brass handles. Two 175th Anniversary models: RC15M - copper color and RS15M - silver color.
They were all produced at the same time.
My photos of all these knives are in this thread.

Thanks, that confirmed my suspicion.

I collect Remington R3-W Big Game knives.
In particular the limited edition of 750 stag R3-W's.
If anyone have any information on these knives I would love to learn more!

Can someone explain the difference between the Camillus-made Remington R1303 (1984 mfr) and R1306 (1990 mfr)? The only difference that I can see is the R1303 has the rigged delrin covers and the R1306 has the simulated stag covers. I am referring to the regular production knives, not to any limited editions.
