Information on Model 12C Rifle

[Bhenkel]

I have a Remington Model 12C rifle. The SN is 90242, which I have been told, places the Year of manufacture around 1911. The SN number is stamped on the bottom of the receiver below the letters RW. The SN is also stamped on trigger guard assembly and also on the mounting side of the crescent butt plate. Is it common to have the SN stamped on the butt plate? The exposed side is smooth without any stamping/lettering. Any additional information on this firearm would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Bill

Based on my observation of the model 14s, they had buttplates stamped with a serial on the buttplate that matched a number stamped on the stock. On earlier ones, the stock and buttplate number match each other but not the serial number of the gun. Later guns, like early twenties on generally but not always are the same number of the rifle itself.......................Tom
