For matters of trivia, I recently acquired an early Model 17 with UMC markings. It seems that there is some disagreement as to whether Remington Arms Union Metallic Company, inc, ever made a Model 17. I had one years ago and could not pass on this one as I didn't realize then how unusual it was. Model 17 is only marked on the barrel distal from the company markings. The receiver is clean. No barrel date codes and BO is marked above the four digit serial number on the underside of the receiver.
