Vintage 5 3/8" (closed) PAL BLADE CO.  MADE IN U.S.A. marked lock back Pocket Knife - in as found and uncleaned condition. NEAT original 1940's (REMINGTON R1253 pattern) PAL BULLET Knife. The PAL BLADE CO. purchased REMINGTON'S CUTLERY Division in 1940 - and used up the parts on hand. This knife most likely was assembled from these parts (with the blade restamped: PAL BLADE CO.) The blade has an uncleaned patina finish with some fine pitting, and a decent snap. No marking on the back of the blade. There is a slight up/down wiggle when the blade is locked open. Brass liners - nickel silver bolsters, bullet shaped shield and handle scale pins. Nice brown bine handles - with no damage that I can find. I have had this knife in my collection for 40 some years - it's only the 2nd PAL BLADE CO. Bullet Knife I have ever seen.
