Years ago I was a serious collector of Remington single shots and had a lot of history tucked in the back of my mind... 1819, wants to ring a bell, but I can't place it. Or, the serial number may have no significance. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The presentation gun is the "Centennial" model of S&W celebrating their 100th anniversary.
google "site:remington.com history"
That's all I can add.
