** Remington Model 11 with Military Markings and 26 Inch Barrel

World War II

12 Gauge. 26" barrel length. SN: 702935. Brushed blued metal finish overall with polished bolt mounting walnut semi pistol grip stock and forend. Long-recoil operated internal tube magazine fed semi-automatic shotgun mounting a front bead sight. The stock has been fitted with an aftermarket RED HEAD BRAND marked recoil pad on a black synthetic spacer, but features military markings to all major components. The left butt is struck with the {Crossed Cannons} mark followed by the FJA initials for inspector Colonel Frank J. Atwood. The upper left receiver and the top of the barrel both show US {Ordnance Bomb} markings with the left receiver additionally struck MILITARY FINISH. The receiver is void of engraving and shows only the Remington/TRADE MARK stamp. The bolt is marked MODEL 11, and the shotgun features the standard model and barrel codes including an RMM date code indicating manufacture in 1943, along with a riot pattern endcap. The US military acquired 60,006 Remington Model 11 pattern shotguns during the course of World War II, primarily in the Riot configuration with a 20 inch barrel, and a standard Remington marked buttplate. Longer barrel shotguns were acquired prior to World War II for use in anti-aircraft gunnery training. These shotguns arrived in two serial number ranges, with this item's number placing it in the latter range. Cylinder bore. 2.75" chamber length.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Very Good. Bore is dirty with dust and residue that should clean to Very Bright. The external metal finish shows light edgewear with some freckling over the receiver and light scratches on the barrel. The lifter and bolt both show a mottled gray patina. Wood furniture has some light dents and mars. Recoil pad has hardened and shows some chipping along the edges.
