Remington Repeating Shotgun
The pump gun which became the Model 10 was introduced in Remington Arms Co.'s 1908-09 catalogue as the Remington Repeating Shotgun.
The next catalogue I have is the 1913-14 catalogue of Remington Arms - Union Metalic Cartridge Co. (ther two companies were combined beginning in 1911) and the Model 10A "Standard" Grade is listed at $27. The Model 10B "Special" Grade is listed at $45. It had a checkered stock and forearm of selected imported walnut made to order to your dimensions at no extra cost. The Model 10S "Trap Special" Grade was $40 and had a matted barrel and a checkered straight grip stock and checkered forearm. The Model 10C "Trap" Grade was $45 and had nicer wood made to your dimensions. Higher grades with engraving were the Model 10D "Tournament" Grade for $55, the Model 10E "Expert" Grade for $80, and the Model 10F "Premier" Grade for $120. A raised matted rib was $6.75 extra on any grade.
By the 1918-19 catalogue prices had risen sharply right after the Great War -- 10A $42 and with rib $51.25; 10B $70 and $79.25; 10S $61 and $70.25; 10C $70 and $79.25; 10D $81.50 and $90.75; 10E $122.25 and $131.50; and the 10F $183.50 and $192.75.
In 1920 the company name was changed to Remington Arms Co., Inc. By their 1923 catalogue the Model 10T "Target" Grade was available with a vent rib and could also be had in higher grades as the Model 10TD, 10TE, or 10TF. I don't have the price list to go with the 1923 catalogue.
I've never seen a serial number break down by year of manufacture for the Model 10, but you can at least bracket it by the company name.
