All About Pocket Knives

Hey all! Just picked up a remington automatic knife- model #r2303.
Blade is sharpened a ton, and covered in black goo of some kind. One scale has a few chucks missing, and the other has a small bug hole.
Knife closes perfectly, but when opened it won't lock- the tab on the blade is sheared off. Very little side to side play, and safety is fully functional.
I am experienced with knife repair and redoing.
My question is this- how much is it worth in current condition, and is it worth me fixing properly - or should I pass it along to someone else? I'm on the fence about taking up another project.
What say you?

Nice knife.

JMHO, it is worth the repair. Contact Bill DeShivs www.billdeshivs.com and see if he can help.

Blessings.
