Introduced in 1948, this example was produced in June of 1950, according to the barrel code. The Sportsman 48 was a variant of the Model 11-48, designed to have a 3 round capacity. Ivory front and nickel mid bead sights on the vent rib, with the patent information on the right side of the barrel and the gauge, 2 3/4" chamber and "SKEET" markings on the reverse, and a Remington Special Skeet choke. Fitted with a fine walnut stock, showing a diamond pattern checkering on the beavertail forearm, with skip-line borders and accents, checkering on the pistol grip with a duck design on the cap, 14 inch length of pull and a serrated Remington buttplate.

Near new, showing a few minor handling marks overall. The stock shows a few very minor pressure dents, concentrated on the underside of the forearm, but otherwise excellent, with sharp checkering and attractive wood grain. Mechanically excellent. From the collection of noted Remington expert James Tipton.
