It is my understanding that all the Model 12's were serialized. They didn't all have the bbl code system that Remington later adopted and still uses. I have a Model 4 Rolling Block, second variation, 22RF that was made @ 1900. It has a SN. My Model 12 is serialized as well but was made late enough to carry the barrel code used to date the rifle.
