When you say "Best estimate…" on the manufacture date, Is that because there is no definite production tables to with ?

That info came from James Tipton's article on the Model 11 in the Remington Society of America Journal, 2nd Quarter 2000. Since his serial number chronology tables for that article were produced, the old "between the Wars" factory ledger has become available which starts in September 1919, and James' chronology doesn't jibe with the ledger. Also, he didn't realize that in the 1937-8 time frame Remington Arms Co., Inc. quit the seperate serial number ranges for the 3-shot "Sportsman" and began numbering them right along with the 5-shot Model 11s. But, prior to 1919, James' chronology is what we have.

Being an "information junkie", I have a large collection of old gun catalogues, and that is where those pictures come from. You can save them out and print them off the best you can, but I have no capability to do any more than what you've seen.
