Produced from 1955 to 1964, the Model 58 was the first Remington semi-auto to move away from Browning's recoil-driven design, instead using gas operation. The F, or Premier, grade was the highest offered by Remington, with each one hand fitted by master gunsmiths, and extensively engraved. Information provided by James Tipton, noted Remington collector, identifies the engraver as Robert P. Runge. White front and nickel mid beads on the vent rib, with the two line patent and address markings on the right side of the barrel, and the 2 3/4 inch chamber markings on the reverse. Choke measures modified. A 6" wedge of scroll engraving with textured background is present on each side of the breech, incorporating banners which surround the markings. The model and serial number markings are hand engraved on the underside of the receiver, which shows over 95% coverage of fine scrollwork, with textured backgrounds and zig zag and punch dot border designs, floral patterns on the trigger guard retention pins, and a starburst on the rear of the operating handle. A dog's head is present on the underside of the trigger guard. Each side shows a multi-panel game scene; a lake scene on the left, with a duck in flight in the left panel, 2 dogs in the center and a pheasant in flight on the right, and the right side has a scene of rolling hills, with game birds in flight in the side panels and two dogs in the center. Concealed in the scrollwork near the dogs on the left side is the initials "R.P.R.", denoting Robert Runge's work. Fitted with a high grade walnut stock, featuring sharp checkering on the forearm and pistol grip, integrating curved and sharply angled border lines, a Remington grip cap with Fleur-de-Lis accents, an untouched gold inscription panel on the underside, 13 3/4" pull and a serrated Remington buttplate.
