With the two-shell magazine the gun is The Sportsman, with the four-shell magazine it is a Model 11. The 16-gauge is a
Model 11, even says so on the left side of the receiver between the
Remington TRADE MARK and the serial number --

When The Sportsman was first introduced in 20-gauge (1930) and 16- & 12-gauges (1931) it came with a three-bird roll-stamping on each side of the receiver --

The Model 11 A, B & C grades continued to be built with a plain receiver --

In the middle of the 1930s they reduced the roll-stamping to one bird on each side of the receivers and started putting it on the Model 11 receivers as well as The Sportsman.
