I was recently given the opportunity to visit with a distinguished old Remington R-1123.  Made approx 1925 and still in wonderful near mint Condition.

 As a Great Eastern fan I felt a kinship to this knife though I had never even held one.  Much as a young man resembles his Grandfather, I am sure GEC followers recognize the current Model 23 in this old patriarch.

 While visiting with this old chap I decided I had a rare opportunity to actually compare apples to apples and I felt other GEC fans might appreciate seeing a direct comparision.  So I took the time to snap a couple of family photos of these two gents together and also do some side by side comparison.  Here are the results;
