Remington trapper question

[caseknife64]

Hello, I recently picked up an old yellow swell bottom trapper that has the what I thought as 1933-35 markings on tang. This one has the circle with made in U.S.A. around it, with
Remington inside, but it is underlined. Also, I see no pattern number on either blade? Any ideas of year range?

Pictures would help.
Tang stamp sounds like what is on my Remington canoe with no R number made by Camillus sometime in the early 1990's.

Pictures!!!! Worth a thousand words of explanation!!
What does "swell-bottom" mean??
It used to mean my child needed changing!!

definitely old, not those 90's repros. Bought in surrounding town of Stratford, CT.

^^^Really very nice!

Nice one!! I'll bet it's a great user!! Most Remingtons are really well made!!

I'd call it a regular trapper, or a straight trapper.
The handle is a "Regular Jack" Pattern, and I agree the blades make it a Trapper, which is usually serpentine-handled! Your mileage may vary!!

Its a swell bottom jack with a trapper blade configuration, no pattern #

swell bottom

I'm sure Bernie would call it a Regular Jack! Look on page 177 of Levine's guide!!
Your term must be colloquial!!??
But it's your Jack! Call it what you want!! Just don't call it late for dinner!!

The stamp dates to the early 1930s.
Remington called this frame a swell end jack. This one would be a swell end trapper jack.
Look closely at the reverse side of the tang. There may be the remains of a pattern number stamped in ink, or not as this marking wasn't real durable.

Thank you very much. The line threw me off, I dont see many like that. I will post a pic of it oiled wiped and sharpened when finished for my collection.
