My Uncle who is very ill stopped by my parents house while I was at work the other day. He dropped off a shot gun that was his fathers (my grandfather, mothers side) and wanted me to keep it in the family. I felt honored to be given this family heirloom.
I don't know anything about this gun other than it is a Single Shot Remington (12GA). I looked up on Remingtons Website about gun history and it appears to be a Model 1893 No.3, but I am not sure. They were made between 1893 & 1903, 86,000 produced. Serial Number Blocks 1,001 - 90,000, also it was produced in NY.
What can you tell me about this old peice, is it a M1893 No.3? Year produced? Value? etc, etc?
