Please help me date my late grandfathers bird hunting partner.
The two characters on the barrell near the reciever are an "L" and what appears to be either a smaller "v" which seems to create problems with the dating web site or an "X" that has worn at the bottom end creating what looks like a small letter "v". Plugging in LX on the dating site gives me Feb., 1929.
My serial number on the reciever is 349384 and (after just now removing it) matches the number on the barrell itself.
Since I'm not completely sure on the x or v issue, I'd like to confirm with serial number, but could not find it in the list of numbers on the hisotircal site.
The rest of the barrell top is marked as follows:
"Remington Arms Co., Inc. Remington ILION Works, ILION N.Y. made in USA
Browings Patents Oct, 9. 1900. Dec, 17, 01. Sept, 30. 02. June 16. 03. Feb, 13. 06."
Can anyone help confirm the feb., 29 date or a source for the correct date if this is wrong
