By the serial number chronology in the second edition of Walter's book that is an 1897 vintage gun, putting it two years after Joe Loy moved to Ilion and took over Remington's engraving department. The engraving may well be a Loy design, but I would expect the masters only worked on the higher grades and the No. 1s to No. 3s or 4s were done by a journeyman in the engraving department.
