Model 11
Re: Model 11
There should be a date code stamped on the barrel indicating the month and year of manufacture. Go here for an explanation: https://www.remingtonsociety.org/manufacture-dates/
Anyway, I think you have an early 20 gauge Model 11. IIRC, the Model 11 wasn't made in 20 gauge until 1930. My 20 gauge #1009xxx has barrel date PY (June 1930) and your gun is a lower number and should have been made before that.

Thanks, I found it, right in the forearm wear line. May 1930. Ok the big question is it too valuable to refinish. It was my dad's so it's not going anwhere.

Model 11 20-gauge receiver with serial number 1001893 was put in work between March 22 and April 26, 1930, according to the old factory ledger. Unless it is a higher D "Tournament", E "Expert" or F "Premier" Grade, it is only worth a few hundred dollars.

Thanks guys. That's what I was looking for. As I said it was my dad's and hes gone now. Clean it, oil it and back in the safe
