The Remington Cutlery Company was bought by the PAL Blade and Tool
Company (Plattsburg, N.Y.) shortly before WWII. PAL continued with the
Remington line, including marking the blade with the old Remington
numbering identification - "RH" for Remington Hunting-followed by a
model number. The RH-36 had a six-inch blade and the RH-37 had a
seven-inch blade.

During WWII, PAL's entire production was military knives. Their USN
Mark 1 was marked RH-35 and their USN Mark 2 was marked RH-37. The
RH-36 is an interim type design with a 6-1/2 inch blade with a
parkerized finish and a pinned aluminum butt cap. The handle is of the
very common leather washer type and the knife's overall length is
11-1/24 inches. PAL also made their RH-37/USN Mark 2 with a USMC stamp
as a fighting utility knife as well as producing the M-4 bayonet
knife, the M-3 Trench knife, and M1 Garand rifle bayonets.
