Beware of scammers.

I didn't find a period match on gunbroker but I am pretty sure they were still using the Plate with the Rem-UMC in a circle while the serial numbers were still at the loading port.

If I find an example I will report back.

Good Luck, Will

die,

At the end of the day it's your gun and you should be happy owning it.

I don't believe you can do anything but enhance it's value to you and others!

Let us know how it comes out.

Will

double post sorry!

double post sorry!

double post sorry!

I does appear to have been refinished in my opinion.

I have not seen an All American with anything but normal gloss blue.

There are better ones out there, be patient.

Will

Your is more than likely a 10A grade then and the D is an inspection stamp.

Will

Jim Tipton's chronology would place the production of this gun in mid-1909.

Good luck and enjoy!

Will

Sorry to be late to the game.

Where is it stamped with a D?

Is it engraved in any manner?

Pictures never hurt if you can manage a few.

As for production dating serial numbers this chart was published in the RSA Journal where and by whom it was developed I do not know or recall.

Good Luck with ...

Thanks Dave.

I’ve not shot any so have no experience there but 60’s on seem to hold their own.

Will

Certainly don't have an answer for you, but none the less, I bet any one of them would still kill a high driven Pheasant!

Will

I can only get you within a range on the Nitro Club ammuntion.

It would have been produced during the Remington-UMC ownership days prior to incorporating.

So roughly 1911-1916 ish.

Researcher has the detailed dates but they slip my mind at the moment.

Will

Thanks Dave for sharing the additional information.

Seems like there would be some Billy Heer close-ups in that time period that could show his guns in more detail.

Will

Maybe you're thinking of the 1889. Some were advertised as light weights.


No Paul, the idea of smaller frame "Light Weight" 1894's have been floated in some camps for years.

I do not know if it ever made a "Double Gun Journal" story or not but I expected it to when Mr. Deem started ...

Everyone wants to date a 10, you'll be happier with a 5! Lol

I am no expert on 10's but have looked at a lot of them and Model 11's of the same time frame and my theory is that the Remington and Circle UMC stampings on the tangs are the discerning features of the Model 10 and 11.

Without those I ...

Thanks for the side by side photo.

I have never realized that the earliest models had a different contouring of the receiver sides than the other pre-18,000 serial number guns that were side stamped.

The ejection port difference always masked this change to my eye.

Great guns, keep them well!

Will

Mike sorry I've been off the boards a while.

Researcher's Pink Flyer show the Models the 31 "Long Range" came in.
