The Remington thread

silenthunterstudios said:
A member on my Slipjoint Addict group mentioned German made Remingtons?

The timeline is

Remington 1920s to 1930s
PAL picking up from 1930s to 1940s with leftover parts
German Remingtons in the 70s?
Camillus Remingtons 1980s to 2000s
Bear 2000s to present

Please correct me if wrong, and if you have exact dates, please provide them. I'm going to look in my Remington book when I get home.

PAL Blade Company started in 1935. PAL bought Remington's cutlery tooling and parts in 1940 when Remington got out of the knife manufacturing business.
 
I suspect any German made "Remingtons" were unauthorized reproductions, just like the German made "Winchester" knives from the same time period.
 
I've posted this before, but will add it in to the thread. The bone looks reddish because of my lack of PhotoChop skills, but its actually brown.

Thanks Mike! Yep, that congress jack took a long time to find and she is a real treasure in my collection. :)
 
A couple pics of some older Remingtons. I think I have a couple others at home that I can add to the thread later on.

RB44 (?), with some other Barlows keeping it company:





No pic of the pile side handy, but I will take better photos of this Barlow and any other old Remingtons I have. Great thread! :thumbup:

Thanks for the picture of the interframe Remington. Some think the interframe came about in the late 20th century by customer makers. Tony Bose in the big Bose thread used that Remington as a example that there is nothing "new" in knives. I agree, great thread.
