My Grade 6 Premier is actually the "Remington Autoloading Shotgun", or "Autoloading Gun" (RAG!?), the c. 1909 predecessor to the Remington Model 11, so designated that year. The shorebirds and waterfowl engraved on the sides of the receiver put the hook in me so bad I had to buy it. Being a loyal Browning A-5 fan and former collector helped put me over the edge. Special ordered for a big mahaf in San Antonio, it is the living embodiment of the statement that, "all art is not flat."
