Answer 2

Indeed it was a Remington Model 11. Vintage taste apparently, it was made somewhere from 1930 to 1948. If you don't know what a Model 11 is, it's the Remington that was a copy of the revolutionary Browning A-5. 20Ga too (the 20 is smaller than the 12 for non gun enthusiasts). As a antique gun dealer I can't help but wonder what happened to the gun, I bet it'd really be worth something these days with that kind of history. Wouldn't mind having it myself.

Answer 3
