Description:

Introduced in 1949. The F, or Premier, grade was the highest offered by Remington, and each one was hand made by the master smiths in the Remington Custom Shop. White front and nickel mid bead sights 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 as well as Remington repair codes on the underside. A 6 inch wedge of scroll engraving with punch-dot background is present on each side of the breech, incorporating banners which surround the markings. The model and serial number markings are on the underside of the receiver, which shows over 98% coverage of fine scrollwork, with vine backgrounds, a dog's head on the trigger guard, starburst patterns on the trigger guard retention pins, and a leaf design on the rear of the operating handle. Each side features a two-panel game scene of dogs and game birds. The engraving is signed "RR", likely for Remington Master Engraver, Robert Runge. Fitted with an extra-fancy checkered beavertail forearm and pistol grip stock with "R.H.C." marked inscription panel and a serrated buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally, likely factory, restored, retains 90% plus blue finish with some thinning on some high spots and edges revealing a smooth grey patina and slightly softened but well-defined engraving. The wood is fine with some scattered light flaking, a few minor dings and scratches, the buttstock significantly lighter with some crazing, and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
