Model 1100 starting serial number

Post by gbrooding »

Can anyone confirm what the Model 1100 starting serial number was? My recollection is that it started with 1001V. Is this correct?

Thank you!

Read it for yourself.

"Model 1100 serial numbers (on the receiver) started with the number 1001."

Awesome thank you! That's a really good article. My Grandpa bought his 1100 new in February 1963, number 1557V. He passed it down to me, along with the original receipt!

Nothing is absolute when it comes to Remington rollmarking. I have seen two (2) Model 1100s with completely bare receivers. No scroll, no serial numbers, nothing. The woodwork was typical 1963 vintage. Only Remingtons I ever saw with no serial numbers.

The bare receivers were set aside for the D and F grades to be hand engraved.

But all the higher grade ones I have ever see still had serial numbers in the usual location.

Here is the original purchase receipt. He purchased a replacement barrel a few years later.
