The rare three Pheasants are roll-stamped on the flawless receiver. The wood is flawless and has a beautiful figure.  The LOP is 14.5" and it has a 27 1/2" tough IC fixed choke.  TRADES CONSIDERED 

Remington Arms Company introduced their 12-gauge, five-shot, John M Browning-designed, "Remington Autoloading Gun in 1905.  The company name was changed to Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co in 1911.  Shortly thereafter after Remington UMC began calling that gun the Model 11.  In 1920 the company name changed again to Remington Arms Co., Inc. Circa 1927/28 they changed the safety from the lever inside the trigger guard to a crossbolt behind the trigger.  In 1930, they introduced the 20 gauge Model 11.  Model 1 20-gauge serial numbers began at 1,000,000.  In 1931, they added the 16-gauge to the line with 16-gauge serial numbers starting at 1,500,000.  In 1930 they also introduced a three-shot version in 20-gauge called "The Sportsman."  The 20-gauge "The Sportsman" had serial numbers beginning low 1?  Maybe 1000?  They added the 12 and 16-gauge "The Sportsman" in 1931, with 12-gauge "The Sportsman" having serial numbers starting at 500,000 and 16-gauges having serial numbers starting at 200,000.  "The Sportsman" had a three-bird roll stamp on each side of the receiver.

In 1934 DuPont acquired a controlling interest of Remington Arms Co.  In 1937, Remington reduced the roll-stamping on "The Sportsman" to one bird on each side and started putting the roll-stamping on Model 11 receivers as well.  At the same time, the name "The Sportsman" or Model 11 began being stamped on the bolt.
