Remington Model 1100 12 GA Semi Auto Shotgun: You are bidding on a Remington Model 1100 12 Gauge Semi Auto Shotgun. This shotgun features a 28" fully ribbed barrel, blue'd finish, walnut stock, modified choke, 2 3/4" chamber, and factory engraving. The Remington 1100 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun, popular among sportsmen. The Remington 1100 was the first semiautomatic shotgun to feature significant improvements in felt recoil, weight and reliability. Designed by Wayne Leek, the Remington Model 1100 was introduced in 1963 as a successor to the Model 58 and 878 gas operated shotguns. The Model 58s had supplemented the recoil operated Model 11-48, which retained the long recoil action of John Browning's original design, present in the Remington Model 11 and the Auto-5. Later the 1100 replaced it as well. All models of the 1100 are gas operated with a mechanism that noticeably reduces recoil. Several variations of the Model 1100, in 12, 20, and 28 gauges, and . 410 bore are still in production as of 2016. The Remington Model 1100 ushered in the era of successful and reliable gas-actuated autoloading shotguns, and, as of 1983, it was the best selling autoloading shotgun in U. S. history, in dollar terms. Over four million have been produced. This shotgun shows good condition, with some minor wear from use. Modern firearm. FFL transfer or NICS background check required.

RARE "DONE IN THE OPEN" FREDERIC REMINGTON 1902Presented in this lot is the Rare "Done in the Open, Drawings by Frederick Remington", 1902 copyright Robert Howard Russell, P. F. Collier & Son Publisher, New York. "Done In The Open drawings by Frederic Remington with an introduction and verses by Owen Wister and others" is a fascinating, early 20th-century collection of outdoor sketches by Frederic Remington and a verse collection published by American author Owen Wister. The book contains 72 Frederic Remington art pieces with a few in color. The piece shows 12 double page drawings, 28 full page drawings, and 32 smaller drawings. Each of the drawings is accompanied by the art’s title and a verse or poem about the piece. The book was a collaboration with the artist, Frederic Sackrider Remington, the verses being written to accompany Remington's drawings. Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art. His works are known for depicting the Western United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and featuring such images as cowboys, American Indians, and the US Cavalry. Remington's collaboration with Wister on The Evolution of the Cowpuncher, published by Harper's Monthly in September 1893, was the first statement of the mythical cowboy in American literature, spawning the entire genre of Western fiction, films, and theater that followed. Remington provided the concept of the project, its factual content, and its illustrations and Wister supplied the stories, sometimes altering Remington's ideas. Remington's prototype cowboys were Mexican rancheros but Wister made the American cowboys descendants of Saxons. In truth, they were both partially right, as the first American cowboys were both the ranchers who tended the cattle and horses of the American Revolutionary Army on Long Island and the Mexicans who ranched in the Arizona and California territories. Remington was one of the first American artists to illustrate the true gait of the horse in motion (along with Thomas Eakins), The galloping horse became Remington's signature subject, which was copied and interpreted by many Western artists who followed him to adopt the correct anatomical motion. Though criticized by some for his use of photography, Remington often created depictions that slightly exaggerated natural motion to satisfy the eye. He wrote that "the artist must know more than the camera... (the horse must be) incorrectly drawn from the photographic standpoint (to achieve the desired effect). Also, noteworthy was Remington's invention of "cowboy" sculpture. From his inaugural piece, "The Bronco Buster", he created an art form which is still very popular among collectors of Western art. He has been called the "Father of Cowboy Sculpture."

REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY CONVERSION REVOLVER. Cal. 46 RF. SN 124849. Conversion #777.

There is no Rollin White patent marking on cyl. There is a Remington patented cartridge ejector, a typical Remington recoil plate conversion. Frame is marked in large letters “C.A. 385”. Research has not provided consignor with information as to what this marking means. Consignor is inclined to believe that Remington took a contract with the U.S. Army Cavalry for about 400 (has never seen a number over 400) of these revolvers and sold them under the table, so to speak, since the S&W/White patent was still in effect. Consignor thinks this gun design was created shortly after the Civil War to use the Remington Split Breech 46 RF carbine cartridge which was invented at the end of the war. (These revolvers were actually marked 44 cal.) This cartridge chambers perfectly in these 46 caliber conversions. A newly found 1872 orig Remington catalogue confirms that these conversions were offered in 46RF Short, 46RF long (46RF carbine cartridge). Remington Society of America would like to solve the “C.A.” mystery and would appreciate any help. CONDITION: Very good. 40% blue overall mixed with surface rust & light pitting.

Y. | under base: No 77. . According to Michael D. Greenbaum, author of Icons of the West, Frederic Remington’s Sculpture, “A reviewer called The Rattlesnake ‘a bit of character … the horse shying at the sight and the horseman just about to cast his broad-brimmed hat over the repulsive coils. ’ Copyrighted in 1905 and reworked three years later, The Rattlesnake, Remington’s twelfth statuette, was described by the artist as a ‘cowboy on broncho … rattlesnake on ground ready to attack horse. ’ The rearing bronc and rider, posed masterfully in a spiraling sweep of motion, became one of Remington’s most popular works. The artist’s marvelous knowledge of anatomy, action and expression were strikingly infused in the bronze’s unfolding drama. Shortly after it was completed, Collier’s further called it ‘the Work of a master’s hand. ’. . “In 1908, after eleven fine castings of the approximately twenty-one inch tall model had been produced, Remington significantly altered the sculpture. He worked nearly every day for several weeks to improve the symmetry and movement of the group. ‘Very cold day, ’ he noted in his diary on February 8. ‘Worked all day on Rattlesnake and think my modeling has greatly improved. ’ Two days later he wrote, ‘Worked on Rattlesnake … doing good. ’ The following week the new model was ‘all but done but the surface fussing. ’ It took longer to create than he had expected, but when finally completed it was ‘a great improvement’ on the smaller version. ‘I hope no one sees them together, ’ he mused. The new version was nearly three inches taller than its predecessor. The cowboy, still dressed in finely textured wooly chaps, lurched forward in a more pronounced curve to accommodate the violent movement of the rearing horse, whose forelegs Remington tucked evenly under its body. ”. .

Remington Rider . 31 Caliber Precussion Revolver: You are bidding on a RARE Remington-Rider . 31 Caliber Percussion Revolver. The revolver features a five shot mushroom shaped cylinder, 3" octagon barrel, double action, and German silver trigger guard. This is one of the rarest of Remington products with an estimated 2, 000 total production including the original percussion model (like this) plus the later cartridge conversion model. To quote from Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms: “This distinctive double action revolver was designed by Joseph Rider of Newark, Ohio. Remington’s contracted with Rider for the manufacture of the Pocket Model, and he became a valued employee of the company, moving to Ilion. One of the first double action revolvers made in quantity in the United States…early specimens have a dovetailed cone type front sight while later production had the pin type front sight. ” The entire run was manufactured from 1860 to 1873- no doubt the later production were the cartridge models. The double action mechanism in which one merely pulls the trigger to revolve the cylinder, cock and fire the weapon works correctly as does the single action in which one pulls the hammer to the rear before pulling the trigger to fire. It is correctly marked “MANUFACTURED BY REMINGTONS’, ILION, N. Y. , RIDERS PT. AUG. 17, 1858 MAY 3, 1859. ” Wonderful attractive patina metal surfaces and particularly fine original checkered rubber grips (these are often badly cracked or replaced altogether). A supremely rare and key revolver being one of the first successful double actions made in the U. S. Surviving specimens are seldom seen or offered for sale especially in this early unaltered percussion configuration. This early example with serial number 699 has the early dovetailed cone type front sight. It was manufactured during the Civil War years. Antique firearm. No FFL transfer or NICS background check required. Condition For a complete representation of condition and for additional images please call 800-686-4216.

Remington Model 11 12 Gauge Shotgun: Included in this lot is a Remington Model 11 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun. John Moses Browning designed his definitive Auto-5 shotgun in 1898. The Auto-5 hit the commercial market in 1900 as the world’s first successful autoloading shotgun. Browning attempted to sell his Auto-5 design to Winchester, only to have company officials balk at his terms. He subsequently offered his design to Remington. In a darkly unexpected turn of events, Remington’s president died of a heart attack in the midst of negotiations. Browning eventually revisited his arrangement with Remington, and the company produced his design in the United States from 1905 to 1947. This shotgun shows a lovely gray patina 28" round barrel. The barrel is marked "Manufactured by the Remington Arms Co. Ilion N. Y. U. S. A. - Browning Patents October 9. 1900, Dec. 17. 1901, Sept. 30. 1902, and June 18. 1903.

The Critical Veteran, 1919
signed "F X Leyendecker" lower left
oil on canvas, 36 by 30 in.
This work is No. 4 in the American Sportsmen Series painted for Remington UMC by F.X. Leyendecker. True to the period, a rig of Mason decoys is seen in the boat behind the gunner. It was created for a Remington Arms advertisement, which appeared in a vigorous campaign in many sporting magazines in October 1919, including “Forest and Stream” and “The Saturday Evening Post,” among others.
The text of the ad reads, “Practical tests by both the Navy and the Army proved that the ‘Wetproof’ shells are equal in every respect to the more costly brass shells, and in some ways even superior. Remington UMC Wetproofs are the only shells waterproofed at crimp and top wad. They will give the same highly satisfactory all-weather service as your modern Remington UMC Autoloading or Pump Gun.”
It continues, “No one is more acute in appraising the true value of service to shooters than the veteran sportsman who as a businessman keeps abreast of the times and handles large affairs. And nothing is more significant than the clean cut superiority of Remington UMC than its large patronage of such widely experienced, progressive and somewhat exacting men.”
The artist, Frank Leyendecker, was born in Germany and moved to Chicago with his family when he was four years old. He was apprenticed to a stained glass maker before attending the Art Institute of Chicago and the Academie Julian in Paris. He shared a studio with his brother, Joseph, in Chicago and then New York. After a successful career as a painter and illustrator for popular magazines and advertising, the artist died in New Rochelle at only forty-six years of age.
This work comes with the October 18, 1919, "Saturday Evening Post" Remington UMC ad featuring "The Critical Veteran."
