Remington 12A
Good day; New guy here. I just realized what a gem I have had in the closet for 40 or so years. I believe I have the Remington 12A. My Grandfather gave it to me, not even sure when. It's in not to bad of shape, Just needs a little cleaning. The s/n is in the low 100,000's but it also has RW stamp above s/n, both underneath. It also has in front of the rear sight ( PEDERSEN'S PATENTS. JANUARY 5,1909.OCTOBER 12.1909. MARCH 8.1910. APRIL 5 1910.) It has the Remington trade mark stamp behind the rear sight and also 22 short, long or long rifle. Any idea of the manufacture date? Nice to know a little history about it. Thanks BCKID
Model 12-A
BCKID:
Serial numbers for the Model 12 started at 104,042 in 1911 and ended at 106,538. Your "Low 100,000s" description leaves a bit to be desired for me to determine an exact mfg. date. The Model 12 started in 1909 (at serial #1) and was produced until late 1936, when it was replaced by the Model 121. Over 831,000 were made.
If you want a lot more info on the Model 12, check out the book offered on the home page of this website.

Woops, I slipped a year. 1911 production started with 55,105 and ended with 104,041 so your rifle was made in 1911. 48,937 were made that year.
