I get home tomorrow and will what I can get for pics.

I was recently given one (read yesterday December 28th) that used to belong to my grandfather, It is a remington, stripped it down cleaned it and will be shooting on sunday after I get back from my parents house.
I have traced the serial number to a manufacture date of October 1917.
