The "F", or "Premier", grade was built with serious competitors and sportsmen in mind, featuring more gorgeous engraving and benefiting from the precision hand fitting by the master gunsmiths of the Custom Shop. Built with a blued steel barrel featuring dual bead sights on the matted vent rib, 6 inch wedges of floral scroll engraving on either side of the breech encompassing the standard Remington barrel markings, 2 3/4 inch chamber, and choke constriction of .005 inches. The barrel is mated to a blued receiver which shows more of the beautifully cut floral scroll engraving over a punch-dot background surrounding six separate game scenes as well as a hand cut serial number and "Remington MODEL 11-48-F" over the serial number on the underside. The game scenes consist of a mallard in a pond scene, a pair of pointers in a field, and a pair of quail in flight on the right, and a pheasant in a field, a pair of setters in a field, and a grouse in flight on the left side. There is also a bust of a pointer on the triggerguard. The work is signed on the left side below the dogs with a simple "E" signature for Remington Master Engraver Carl Ennis. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered forend and pistol grip stock with a factory grip cap, a blank gold inscription oval, and a factory serrated buttplate. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 3/8 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 8 oz.

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue finish with minor handling evidence. There is a small crack at the right rear of the forend; otherwise, the wood is very fine with a few minor marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
