What's on the bolster on the top one, is that blood or nail polish?

Nice set you have there.

Good eye Phil! It certainly looks like blood to me. I looked at the knives again and there's no evidence of it now. Mysterious.

I believe that's one of the best ones I've seen. Love it.

Nice group Dwight, don't recall seeing a Remington one arm before. I have a clip Remington similarly corroded as yours, they sure have that been there done that look to them. Despite the corrosion it is still tight, snappy and sharp.

Thank you John. These old Remingtons seem to be well built for sure and full of character.

New York Knife Hammerbrand that still has as good or better walk and talk than a fine new knife.
I have had it a long time, but, these are freshly shot photos, this morning.

i would love to see this knife in its mint condition, i wonder if the 2014-2015 era 77 barlows were based on these. Also hows the blade to handle ratio? Does it fill the blade well?
