Ol' Remington

I just acquired this old well loved Remington and was hoping to learn more about it. It looks like R or P then 6725 is stamped on the back of the main blade. I think the handles are Pyremite? Nice black swirled pattern. The blades are still tight and snappy despite their advanced wear and tear. Blades have Remington UMC inside a circle stamped which should put it at 1921-24. Anyone know if it's worth anything in this state?

One of my books for a Remington R6725, lists it as a Sleeveboard Pen, with Pyremite Handles, at MINT would be worth $300...
I think we would agree yours is far from Mint.
I am sure Remington collector could give you more history on yours.
Using a grading guide, the figure value I came up with just by your picture is $15.12.
And that was just figuring in the one broken blade...

SFC ADP has got you covered on this one. A broken secondary blade and reshaped main blade really hurts the value.
