Default Engraved Oval

I found a basket case Tournament Grade Remington Autoloader, I know blasphemy Lol, that I used for my first go at stock refinishing. Since it was a learning experience I made and inlet a stock oval that I had my monogram engraved on.

I'm glad I did.

Correct Brian.

If you'd like to see some before and after pictures just email me at williamgurton (at) Hotmail (dot) com .

Unfortunately, I've never took the time to make myself understand how to photobucket.

I currently have a nice original B grade and C grade trap in my collection. Been looking for a high condition A grade, but most of them are beat to hell and i will likely be looking for a while. And the grade higher than what i have that I always seem to come across is the F. The D and E are not often seen.

In that early era of the model 11, Remington could really put together a nice gun.

Just happened on a nice 1913 No.1 grade, they didn't change to letter designations until 14-15.

Like you I've been looking for a really nice Pre-Model 11 Standard Grade but since this one was in such nice condition I didn't pass.

Right down to the nitre blued Magazine Spring Retainer!

I have a 1929 Smith Crown grade double trap with an engraved oval in the grip cap. First, it can sometimes be near to impossible to decipher the scroll. Second, I have to assume the gun was used by a fairly serious trapshooter and would have been an ATA member. I have searched the Average Books and found no matches. I cannot describe my frustration on that point. Third, I still think engraved ovals and shields are fascinating, and it shows that someone took pride in their gun. On this last point, do any of you think that maybe the personalized guns are, today, in better shape than the non-engraved?

I have an 1898 Titanic barreled CH that belonged to a Canadian Trap shooter named Robert Montgomery. He won the silver medal in the 1923 Paris Olympics, though I have nothing to indicate it was won with this gun.
It has two shields, one on the toe line with his initials, and another silver one at the rear of the comb. This unusual shield is documented in the PGCA letter.
