The book does not show all of those options. Without a letter it is hard to put a value on it. If the factory upgraded it, probably around 8,000.00, If not , about half that much. Dave

I've attached my Research Committee letter which (unless I'm mistaken) shows all the options I mentioned. What's missing? The gun does have a Remington factory code indicating it was returned in July 1943, but I have no idea if that was for modifications or repair.

Thanks for estimating a value, though -- that's about what I figured, but I don't think there have been any upgrades. I think the gun is exactly as it left the factory.

I guess the serialization book is not correct again. Proves the value of your letter nicely.

We have thought for quite some time that the #1 1/2 frame was used for about all trap guns. Recently I have seen or heard of three original trap guns that were built on the #2 frame and are quite heavy. I guess the occasional trap gun was built on the #2 frame. How many? Don't know. My opinion is that the #2 frame traps were special ordered to make a high weight request by the customer. The one #2 frame trap I own is a horse and weighs about 8 3/4 pounds.

The 1 1/2 frame double trap I own is just wonderful....

What a nice gun! About the only think I see that may not be original is the adjustable recoil pad.
