Hello to all. I have only posted on one previous subject, and am feeling guilty continuing to ask when I have nothing to give in return other than thanks.
However, I have Remington, Hawkbill, single-blade knife. The blade bears the Remington Logo in a circle and the number R708. All inscriptions are clear and sharp. I have determined that the scales are cocobolo. The action is tight. The blade has been sharpened, and has some scratches, but the shape has not been altered.
Does this knife have a significant value?
Thanks to all who responded to my Cattaraugus "Take Apart".

$200 for a mint unused example, $75 for a well used but not damaged example. Yours probably falls somewhere between the two. A "Remington Trademark" etch would help the value greatly. In 1938 your knife sold new for 75 cents. It is a high quality knife that was designed to be used and most of the ones I encounter have been. Are you going to auction it? Don't feel guilty for asking questions, alot of us here are more than happy to try to answer questions as they arise.
