Akko Posted July 17, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2012 Hi Guys, yesterday I bought this knife at a garage sale you could say. I thought it was something from the vietnam era, but after a while researching I found out it could be wwii era. Now my question, what kind of knife is it? It has some elements from the RH-34, RH-36 and also the colors from the RH-35 Can't find any markings, but there is a fade mark of pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainemilitaria Posted July 17, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2012 Just measure the blade.....if it's 4" it's a "Pal RH 34",..... 5" then it's a "RH 35", .....if 6" blade, then it's an "RH 36", etc. Pal bought out Remington's Knife production in 1939. The "RH" marking is a carryover from Remington's prewar model number & blade length. John G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still-A-Marine Posted July 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 17, 2012 I don't think it's a RH-36. The blade is smooth. The brass guard would most likely mean not WWII. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akko Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted July 17, 2012 Blade measures 5 inch, so it is an RH-35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredoc Posted July 18, 2012 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2012 I have one the same but marked FD in a oval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akko Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted July 18, 2012 I know there's an oval on my blade but can't read what's in it because of the rust... Maybe it's also FD or PAL... If it's FD , is it still a pal? or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
