Model 11

Post by blk93jeepzj »

Hello, I've been lurking and trying to figure out the information on my own but not having the best luck.

I have recently acquired a Model 11, now I am trying to figure out the date of manufacture. I sent Remington an email with the serial number. They are stating that it is a 1934 model but I am getting some inconsistencies with doing my own research. (From reading, it seems as this is fairly common with them.)

Receiver
Underside of the receiver is stamped with 258807
Back part of the trigger plate is stamped "Remington UMC trademark".
Behind the carrier it is stamped "6" "F".
Top of the receiver is stamped "Remington Trademark"

Barrel
Right side of barrel "REP" with an Anchor
Left side of barrel "12 GA" "D" "Sideways heart" symbol "FULL" "O"
Underside "I"
"C"
By magazine Ring "395956"
"LT"
Top of Barrel
REMINGTON ARMS CO.,INC.,ILION,N.Y. MADE IN USA
BROWNING U.S.PATS. 689,283-710,094-730,870-812,326

Thanks in advance for the help.
Robert

You have a receiver that was put in work at Ilion during June 1923. Your barrel is from a gun that was put in work during June 1937. The second letter of the date code on the barrel is hard to read, but the best I can get is DF -- D = September, F = 1937. Essentially you have a gun cobbled together from at least two.

Thanks for the info, Researcher. Nice catch on the DF, I did not even see the F the first couple of times that I have looked at the barrel. I didn't think that the receiver could be a 1934 with what I was cross referencing with the serial number log and the fact that the safety was in front of the trigger and not a cross bolt.

I have attached a couple more pictures as well. She is no show quality gun and looks to have been used and abused over the many years. I've got a guy that wants to make it part of a trade for an old aluminum boat that I have for sale. Other than the fact that it works I have no emotional attachment to it.

New to site, but does anyone know if model 11's were used in WWI?? I've had two in the 100,000 serial number range made in 1913 and both were picked up by me a decade ago and the numbers are close to each other. When I bought them from my last WWII friend and FFL Jack wasn't sure of the history of them but he thought one was a warrior( functional but beat up as many of my other combat weapons looked ) and the other is blued all there as it looks like almost new in comparison but came from the same guy and the story was, he liked( the original owner of both guns ) the warrior one in combat and came home and bought the 2nd one ). I'm basically trying to find out is the model 11 along with Winchester model 12 ( which I also have ) the term trench shotgun created by that the Germans, tried to have outlawed through the Geneva Convention?? I remember some years ago a program on tv that said the Browning A-5 and the Rem. 11 and possibly the Win. 12 were the shotguns the Germans hated!! Any help would be appreciated on this quest, for I have other Rems with equal mystery's involved with these great machines. Joe
