Our Assessment: Not only is this is one of the few over-under shotgun models ever produced by Remington its one of the first ones ever to come off the line, "Serial Number 9”. The design is essentially the same as the Krieghoff Model 32 and the fit and finish isn’t far off from a Krieghoff, either. This shotgun is in about Very Good condition with 95% of its current finish remaining, good bores, and strong mechanics. While it has some wear, this may just be the perfect field over under, and you wouldn't need to worry about it getting a scuff or two. These made a fine gun to use as a range workhorse breaking clays or out in the field dropping birds.
