I have a R4563 that my grandmother gave me after my grandfather passed away years ago. It is in pretty rough shape but I want to try my hand at restoring so I can carry it. The main (long) blade is broken in half. A few questions......
Are there any sources for replacement blades out there ?
Curious as to how these bolsters come apart?
Any idea of when this knife was made?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Re: R4563 Restoration Help
Ebay may be your best source for used parts. Just keep searching for Remington knives until you find the one you're looking for. You can post a want ad on this site and hope for the best.
Dale has an excellent tutorial posted on taking a knife apart.

I'm no Remington expert but think your knife may be from the 1930's. Pal bought out Remington in 1941 - maybe so likely before that?

Welcome to AAPK. 
Another thing you can do that sometimes produce a blade is to post in the Knife Mechanic's Swap Forum that you are looking for a Remington R4563 master blade.
I have a few old Remington blades, but most are small pen blades.

Re: R4563 Restoration Help
Did Pal continue using the Remington numbering system? I wonder if there might be a compatible Pal blade that would work for me.
