Re: Model 11 date...
According to the serial number chronology in James Tipton's article on the Remington Autoloading Shotgun/Model 11, serial number 144543 would be of 1913 vintage. At that date the company name on the gun should be Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. (1911 to 1916).

James Tipton's article was published in the Remington Society of America Journal, 2nd Quarter 2000. I've been told that supplies of that issue are exhausted. A later "improved" version of the article was up on the Remington Arms Co., Inc. site for several years.
The old "between the Wars" factory ledger, that is available on this web site, shows that the receiver with serial number 255979 would have been put in work during April of 1923.
