Re: When did the Remington logo get added to the Model 51 fr

Apparently there was no official serial number when that came into effect. I too have a #30000 serial numbered 380 with the trademark logo and it is nickel plated as well with the 9 "U" shaped groves. The general rule of thumb is that if they have the trademark then they also have the cali...
