I know iKC member Kevin D is a big PAL knife fan. While he will most likely add a comment here, you can search his comments on PAL to see if he already has discussed the PAL 28 any...
That'll get you started. I hope that helps a little...

Remington offered the very first of the RH knives in 1926. In 1933, Remington (cutlery division) merged with E.I. DuPont until the business was sold to PAL in 1940. By knowing the tang stamps, you can get a pretty decent feel for the manufacturing date. 1926-1933 was Remington UMC, 1933-1940 was Remington DuPont. Anything after that was PAL.
The RH-28 was introduced in 1926, and was offered through 1940.
Blade length was 4½" long.
OAL was 8½" long.
Handle was engraved hard rubber.

If there is any other info about the RH-28 that you are looking for, please ask. I kind of glossed over things and gave you the highlights of the information. The handle for the RH-28 will be similar to (but a little smaller) than the handle on this one.

i just need to decide if i want to make a offer on it , i think they are high on their ask ,so my offer would be $50 under their ask , usually too much for people wanting to come down off their ask
thanks for the reply and the info , so was this a military or hunting knife , i know the PAL knives were the same pattern as the RH hunting knives

The RH-28s were not that crazy rare (long production run). In excellent condition, with an original sheath in good condition, I would probably only go... well, I am notoriously cheap. I rarely pay what a knife may be worth. Honestly, a lot of sellers are not super knowledgeable about these knives.
Measure the length of the blade to ensure it is at or near full length. The 'acceptable' tolerance from Remington was documented to be ±1/8".

given what they are asking i think i will pass , when i go back if its still there i will ask to see and take a look at the markings
its not being cheap , its about gaining equity is the way i look at it , there are things i pay no question or haggle market value , there are things i pay without haggle that are a good deal , i may haggle even if it is a good deal , the black shirt dagger wa a great deal and i still got them to shave $50 , but i think they are asking too much for this knife and even if i get them down $50 i still think its too much , maybe if it sits for 6 months and iyts still there i will toss a favorable number at them ,if they take it fine if not fine as well
as always thank you for allowing me to tap into your knowledge
