It looks good to me. When you think about it the simi-auto receiver is a very large canvass to apply decoration to and game scenes is the order of the day on most. You would need to look at the receiver with a loop to see what is the irregularity. The 11-48 was a fine gun. It is really a model 11 without the hump and Remington's first mass produced shotgun. It shares the receiver with the mod. 870. I have one in 410 and one in 28ga. I gave my father's 20ga. to his favorite grandson, my favorite nephew. It is fun to hunt doves with the little 410. it cycles my 2 1/2", 9 shot hand loads well.
The 11-48 is a long recoil shotgun like the Browning and can kick a little with heavy loads. The gun you have is a good piece of history and I would keep it.
