I am anxiously awaiting shipment of a knife I purchased.  It is a Remington model 1613  fish and toothpick style with the round shield.  Admitedly it is not in mint condition, but I just couldn't pass it up.  This one is an anomaly, in that the bullet model actually is worth less than the one with the round shield.  When I get it I will post a photo.

Also, re my previous post, the price at which it is offered is quite low.  It purports to be an original, and such will bring hundreds.

One has to be careful when looking at an Ebay ad. for example, check out this one.  The bullet on the handle is in the wrong place, and the knife has no number as most bullet knives do.

I do have a few Remington fixed blade knives, Kevin. My most recent aquisition is an RH 4, no sheath.  I will probably make one for it.  

Remington made a

at least two plastic handled knives:  RH 72 P and RH74P

Ahhhh!  Good to learn!  Thank you

Ever so glad to get edge-ama-cated about something I know nothing about.

Like I said earlier I know nothing about bullet knives beyond what the most common of knowledge might be.

Ask me something about the RH sheath knives, and I might be able to help a little bit.  ;)

As to the original post I made regarding a knife on Ebay purporting to be an original bullet knife model  R193, I would stay away from this one.  While the price seems reasonable to cheap for an original 1920s vintage bullet knife, I believe this is not one, but is either a fantasy knife or a counterfeit.

My apologies for my fat fingers on the keyboard.  The single blade bullet knife below is a model R 1253.

This one is an original R 1254 single blade.  It was reputed to be Al Capone's favorite.

Actually the series that started in 1982 is a series of reproductions.  The original bullet knives were produced and sold mostly in the 1920s and early 1930s.  If in good condition, the originals can be quite valuable, selling for prices approaching $2000 or even more.  A couple of the originals were single blade, but most were two blade knives.

I have two references to the originals.  I can find none issued with the R 193 stamp.  Not sure where this one came from, but it is suspect.  The only R 193 knife I can find in my references is a teardrop jack knife with a spear and a punch blade.  

I have a complete collection of all of the repro bullet knives, started when the first one came out in 1982.  Still working on the originals, but can't afford some of them that are in near mint or mint condition.

Here is a photo of some of my older remingtons:
