The Premier Grade was exclusively the product of the Remington Custom Shop, with masterfully hand-fitted components and superb embellishment. A product of unquestionable skill and dedication. This particular example is signed by Robert P. Runge, Master Engraver. Robert Phoenix Runge started his engraving career with Parker Brothers, moving to Remington along with his father in 1934, retiring in 1979 to work on the restoration and embellishment of vintage Parker shotguns. White front and nickel mid bead sights, and choked full. The three line address/patent numbers on the right side of the barrel is marked in a decorative panel amid a 5 3/4 inch wedge of floral scroll and punch dot engraving, which ends in a broad leaf design at the breech, and the same on the left side with the "12 GA. FOR 2 3/4 OR SHORTER SHELLS" marking. The receiver shows almost full coverage of beautiful floral scrollwork, with a punch dot background and leafy vine border designs. The left side of the receiver has three scenes, a duck in a marsh scene at the right over a banner containing the serial number, two hunting dogs in a plains scene in the center with "REMINGTON MODEL 1100 TF" in a banner at the bottom and a quail in flight continuing the dog scene in the front. The right side has similar scenes, with a pair of dogs in the center and a pheasant on each side. The bottom of the left side center scene is signed "RPR/70". Mounted with an extra fancy high grade walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with decorative bordered checkering, with a black plastic teardrop grip cap with diamond shaped inset, high comb, gold initial oval and solid Pachmayr recoil pad. Length of pull is 14 1/4 inches.

Excellent, with 98% of the original blue finish, showing the first hints of a brown patina on the barrel, along with some minor handling marks. The stock is excellent, with a few scratches concentrated on the right side of the buttstock, and a few dings on the comb and left side. Mechanically excellent. The adornment is every bit as detailed and well executed as one would expect from a Remington Custom Shop Master, and this shotgun could be a cornerstone piece of a high grade Remington collection.
