All About Pocket Knives

I have this Remington that I need help with a positive I.D. Let's see if I can add some pictures.
The number is R4523, kind of hard to see in the picture but is clearly stamped.
Any information would be appreciated, Year of manufacture, style or model name (approx. value if allowed)
Thanks

Pattern number R4523 is for a Spanish scout . Either your shield has been replaced or worn smooth ?
I would say with that style of can opener and having a UMC tang stamp it should date from 1929-34 .
If you have any interest is selling the knife please let me know .

I'm pretty new to the knife world, always enjoy seeing new things...like the built in hook sharpener on your fishing knife. Way cool

With regard to value, it's pretty much impossible to give any kind of estimate for a knife of which you can see only one side and only one the four (presumably) blades. For anyone to give any kind of accurate value you will need to show multiple views of ALL blades.

In addition, there are qualities that don't show up in pictures, for instance; How do the blades snap into the open and closed position? Do the blades wobble in the open position?

Any collector will want to have answers to these questions. Any question he does not have an answer to will simply translate into a lower offer for the knife.

Of course, if the knife is in terrible shape, it may be better not to furnish any answers.

I will get more pictures this weekend so you can see the details.
The shield is worn smooth, so it has been carried a lot. Main blade does not snap in as well as the others but it does have snap to it.
Thanks for your answers to my inquiry.

I will have to post an inquiry on it also in the Case forum, it seems to be pretty old also.

Have you tried a few drops of household oil (3-IN-ONE or equivalent)? You might be surprised how many times a couple of drops of that slickery stuff will restore or improve a blade's snap. Besides it's good maintenance for all your folding knives.

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard.

I will give it a try,
Thanks for the welcome,this is a good place to hang out and absorb knowledge.

Aye laddie, that it is.

A few more pictures, hopefully a little better quality.

As far as pricing a Remington utility in this condition IMO as just good condition and verging on poor condition . Having snap issues , missing bail , short punch blade , worn shield and handles .
NOW if this was the standard Remington rs3333 scout the value should be around 20-40 bucks but its not , it's a fairly rare knife and that has to be put into the equation , how much more I don't know .....
