Mine has this marking: "Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co." so apparently it's from 1911 into 1916. I know it's pre-1918 because years ago I found my grandfather's 1918 Minnesota hunting license under the buttplate. (My dad was born a week after the date on the license.)
This gun has matching serial numbers (144614) on the underside of the barrel and the frame, near their joint. As the picture also shows, it has the letter "U" above the serial number on the frame. Anyone know what that indicates?
I've read that these guns with full chokes have been popular for turkey shoot competition. Never could understand the safety inside the trigger guard, couldn't tell you how many times my dad failed to get it off when wearing gloves.
