Model 11 Shotgun
Model 11 Shotgun
I am attempting to determine the manufacture date and any additional information such as grade/type on a Model 11. The serial number is 390722. The codes stamped on the barrel are BFX. BF would seem to indicate January of 1937 manufacture date, but I can’t find anything regarding the X. The barrel is modified and there appears to be a C stamped on the barrel adjacent to the receiver. There is a duck scene on one side and pheasant on the other. Thanks in advance for any insight anyone my provide!

Re: Model 11 Shotgun
The receiver with serial number 390722 was put in work during 1936. That is right in the time frame when Remington started putting the roll-stamped birds on the sides of the Model 11A, B & C receivers, though they still pictured the plain receiver in the 1936 & 7 catalogs --
and first showed the roll-stamped bird in the January 3, 1938, catalog --
