Here are a few pics of another I picked up at the Oregon Show in April. One by Reese...3 Bladed Stockman. Can someone tell me what the scales are? I think they are Remington jigged bone but not sure how the experts can tell. Dark brown to light brown as the scales thin out. Enjoy, Tom #3081
Thanks guys for the comments. I am forever a learner and really appreciate the info especially on how to maintain the scales. Knife collecting is a joy to bear. Tom #3081
Looks like you had a good show. That's a great looking knife you have there, but be careful hanging out here, they'll get you to using those Boses knives before too long and you'll like that as well.
May I ask a few "newbie" questions...What differentiates Remington Bone from other dyed bone? What does lemon oil provide to the Remington bone? Should this also be applied to other dyed bone scales as well? Just tryin to do some learning...

Thx, Brian
The remington bone is from the 1930s, the lemon oil gives life to old bone which is usually dry and should be put on all bone a couple times a year. It enhances the color and makes it more pliable and less apt to crack.
