It's a Remington era gun, 241K serial number range. Has all the usual Rem features including Rem barrels lacking the rib legend.

Great photo!!

FWIW Those Winchester REPEATER Speed Loads are ten to twelve years older than the gun. Hope they weren't shot in the gun as they have the old corrosive primers. During 1931-2, just as the Olins took over, the Winchester STAYNLESS primers were introduced. This would have been the box in 1941 --

Dave those are just part of some ammo that I purchased for staging, no plans to shoot those in anything. Ran into a cool box of 3" paper 20 gauge while I was looking around. Not perfect by any means but they will fit my needs, the 3" 20 is hard to find as you know, full box to boot.

Nice. That seems to be the load I find in vintage 3-inch 20-gauges more than any other -- 20-grains of Ballistite pushing 7/8 ounce if shot.

The company name on your box is Remington Arms Company, Inc. which it became during the summer of 1920. This shotgun shell collecting can get addictive. I have gotten full boxes of 20-gauge 3-inch ARROW shells with the company name Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. (1911 to 1916) and Remington Arms Company, Inc. (1920 0nward). Still looking for one with the WW-I era The Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co., Inc. (1916 to 1920).
