Last weekend I purchased a nice Model 11 at a local gun show. I was looking for one along with some other guns I plan to aquire. My question is why do some Model 11 Remingtons have the duck and pheasant engravings on them and others don't? The one I bought doesn't. According to the barrel code RW and the serial #342xxx I believe it was made in 1928. I looked up the serial # on the Remington Society website and it says Oct,1928. It has a 30" solid rib mod. barrel , safety behind trigger, and the serial # is on the left side of receiver, under "Remington" and "MODEL 11". The receiver has no numbers on the underside and is not stamped Model 11 on the bolt. It is not a "Sportsman". It has a checkered stock and fore end. I've looked all over the web and it seems some Model 11s made before mine and some made after have the duck/pheasant engraving, so it doesn't seem to be a specific year/years thing.
My gun is in very good condition, leading me to wonder if it has been re-blued. The wood is in great shape and fits the receiver perfectly, leading me to believe it wasn't redone (shows age, but no sanding marks/ bad fit ) and the checkering is crisp and not filled in with a new finish.
Any information I can get on this beautiful gun would be appreciated. Thanks.
