Several signatures for right-handed {ital W} ({ital W}{sub {ital R}}) production in collider experiments are noted. If the right-handed neutrino {ital N} is too heavy to permit the decay {ital W}{sub {ital R}}{r arrow}{ital eN}, the decay {ital W}{sub {ital R}}{r arrow}{ital t}+({ital d}, {ital s}, or {ital b}) may still be allowed. Given present limits on the top-quark mass, it is then likely that {ital t} will decay 100% of the time to {ital W}+{ital b}. We thus urge that the signature {ital W}+2 jets be examined for clusters of events consistent with {ital M}({ital W}+jet{sub 1}+jet{sub 2})={ital M}{sub {ital W}{ital R}}, {ital M}({ital W}+jet{sub 2})={ital m}{sub {ital t}}. Some decay modes involving the right-handed neutrino are also mentioned briefly.
