Not a fine double but an American Classic

Will's ads are Remington Arms Co. 1905 to 1910, before the gun was called the Model 11. Drew's are Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. 1911-1916, and I'm kind of surprised they don't say Model 11 as they began calling JMB's gun the Model No. 11 in their 1911-12 catalog.

I have narrowed my collecting focus to era with round knobs and stock cheeks!

This plays out in about the 1913-14 time period best I can tell from the catalogues and serial number charts.

Even though the first catalogues with the flattened pistol grip also show stock cheeks, I have not seen an A grade example with both and no checkering.

Sorry Craig I will break my promise! Lol

One of the best examples I have come across is an 1908 RAS No. 2 (B) Grade that I picked up years ago.

Enjoy, Will

Look close at that forearm. That is not as Model 11, it is a Sportsman.

Will: I have one more 11 that came from Wards by way of Julia's a year or so ago, I'm sure you know the gun 98600. Still looking for a B and E Expert.

Sorry I was out of step with you.

Glad you picked up a nice one.

I believe that one came out of Bob Creamer's collection.

I'll keep an eye out!

I’d talked myself into a pair of Model 11’s or A-5’s that were pre 1950. But I made a deal for something else Saturday and that’s gonna kill the gun buying for awhile . Well except maybe for a DH/DHE VH/VHE 20 gauge with 32” tight barrels snd shootable stock dimensions . Yeah I know famous last words , I’m not gonna buy any for awhile or only one more yadda yadda yadda .

Got outbid this weekend and it is probably for the best.
