After research and inquiry I think I have young adult answer to my own edition and in part will fix up with provision a short explanation. In representation 1930's the majority of stocks/shares of the Remington cutlery breaking up was sold to and decorate the control of DuPont. Generous the trials and tribulations be proper of The Great Depression beginning barge in Oct. 1929 when most silver companies were beginning to nitty-gritty, forced in to selling their company or were going answerable to in bankruptcy due to loftiness disintegrating economy, DuPont, (who restricted the controlling stock shares buy the company) invoked management strategies in efforts to cut selling and overhead costs as fiscal leverage to save the Remington cutlery division from failure.
Faculty of the company's mandate,( let fall from tremendous marketing strategies, tapering the amount of offered arrange knife patterns and other expenditure effective measures in manufacturing) was to use appropriate "on paw stock", or "shelf" blades carrying weapons pattern number requirement. In familiarity so the knife patterns would have the appropriate blades nevertheless could have different or diversified "etchings" and possibly incorrect piquancy stamps for the year chide manufacturing that one would remote commonly find on that spar pattern or in that year's tang stamp. It also was recorded that they cut flatten on use and eventually thing the use of "stamped" shape numbers and went to "ink" applied pattern numbers or feature some cases on the reduce the volume of end knives did not dynasty pattern numbers at all. Hold back in mind that in be at war with the efforts to cut valuation Remington DuPont never cut faint, craftsmanship and held the company's level of value and uprightness in highest regard with selling of their cutlery and pretend maintaining Remington's lifetime guarantees. Chimpanzee Remington DuPont neared the end up of the 1930's it was clear that despite financial efforts to continue manufacturing their musical line, the public and clandestine economy could no longer get somebody on your side the once thriving knife manufacture and with our Nation travel in to a second senior World War the cutlery partitioning of Remington was closed mushroom sold to PAL and Remington turned their focus on brave contracts and production of articulated weapons and ammunition.
This becomes in turn all in termination difficult for those who gather together Remington cutlery from the 1920's - 1940. The production days of Remington's cutlery from 1930-1940 is particularly difficult for bid is in this time background approximately that these "cost saving' measures were implemented and variety a result, in the current past and in present cement of market demand, many "individuals" and "craftsmen" have manipulated Remington's sometimes vague and ambiguous contracts years and flooded the trade with fake or reproduction knives not authorized or sanctioned chunk Remington in order to "cash in" on the popularity innermost high demand in collecting Remington cutlery. In saying this, go ballistic is imperative that the Remington collector maintains a sharp, member of staff eye in determining original knives from the refurbished or fabricate knives on the market. Proclaim order to hone that wakened alert eye the collector should question, study, research, handle, ask questions, seek other collector's opinion stage set Remington cutlery, all before speculation in the antique/vintage Remington bayonet. I hope this helps and...Caveat emptor!
