My antique 1900 Remy 12

[Stepmac]

Thank you Researcher for your informative post about Remington shotguns. My grandfather (I am 80.) gave me his Remington Model 11 12 gauge when I was a teen. It sported a Polychoke. The gun weighed a ton, but it was the gun upon which I did most of my shooting, along with a Knickerbocher 20, that my grandfather gave to my dad when he was 10. So I shot heritage guns. I shot model 11s for decades. Sold them when I was in the hospital circling the drain thinking my shooting days were over. But I survived. (aortic dissection) I sure miss my little Model 11 20. Bought two Auto 5s a 12 and a 16. The 16 is an early gun with Mark IV engraving and it is a beauty to behold. Has the original black leather case with two barrels, a full and a cylinder. Suicide safety. That gun competes with beautiful Parkers for sheer shotgun glory. It carries a 75.000 ser# so it's an early gun.

I'll take some pics of my Browning Auto5 with the Mark IV engraving and see if I can figure out how to post them here. I paid $4.4K for it, which is much more than I have ever paid for any gun, but it just screamed for me to buy it when I saw it at a gun show in Oregon. It is indeed a work of art! (later entry) I discovered that my Auto five sixteen is a very early gun. The Browning serial number site reported that any pre 1920's age is just a guess. So my gun is probably in the teens or earlier. A very pretty gun tho.

I took some pictures of the gun two days ago and they didn't turn out very well. I have posted pictures before here, but that has been a while. I'll try again.
