The gun was built with a blued steel barrel featuring
single white bead sight, standard Remington markings
surrounded by a six inch wedge of beautifully executed floral scroll
engraving, Remington proofs on the underside indicating a full choke,
and a 2 3/4 inch chamber. The barrel is fitted to the blued action which
displays gorgeous broad leafy scroll engraving surrounding vignette
game scenes, a bust of a dog on the trigger guard, and hand cut model and
serial number on the underside. The scenes depict a pair of setters flushing grouse in two panels on the left
side and a pair of pointers flushing quail on the right side in two separate panels, both scenes are cut in lovely
fine detail. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved cap
and a pistol grip stock with a factory hard rubber grip cap, a Pachmayr recoil pad, and “W.O.C.JR” in the gold
inscription oval. According to the consignor this gun belonged to Walter Officer Caldwell Jr., a Texas rancher and banker.
Includes a suede and leather sleeve. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 11/16 inch drop at heel; 15 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 1 oz.
CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, retaining 90% plus original blue finish on the barrel and action, 75% original blue on the magazine tube, some high edge wear, and overall mild handling
evidence. The wood is very fine with a small chip at the left of the stock head, some scratches, and some clouding in the varnish. The barrel retainer cannot be fully tightened; otherwise,
mechanically functions. This is a great opportunity to own a gorgeous, purely American, shotgun!
Estimate: 6,500 - 9,500

Barrel - Serial no.
L-749427-V, 12 gauge,
26 inch vent rib bbl.,
blue finish, walnut stock. Manufactured in 1973. The “D”, or “Tournament”, grade was built
with serious competitors and sportsmen in mind, featuring more subtle engraving than the
Expert and Premier grades, but benefits from the precision hand fitting by the master gunsmiths
of the Custom Shop, while the “S”, or “SKEET”, was the configuration designed for skeet shooters, with the “SD” being a combination of the two known as the “Tournament Skeet”. Built with a blued
barrel featuring dual bead sights on the matted flat vent rib, standard factory markings, choke constriction of .004 inches, 2 3/4 inch chambers, and two inch wedges of scroll engraving at either side
of the rib near the base. The barrel is fitted to a blued action which displays attractive scroll engraving at the borders and center of either side as well as hand cut factory markings. The gun is fitted with a stunning marble figured
and multi-point checkered forend and pistol grip stock with white diamond grip cap and a serrated factory buttplate. Includes an extra non-matching 26 inch barrel with interchangeable chokes (skeet 2 installed), a Browning
Naugahyde case, and eight extra choke tubes. Stock measurements: 1 3/8 inch drop at comb; 2 5/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/16 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs.
CONDITION: Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue finish with minor handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine with light wear, and the extra barrel is
excellent. A great chance to own a fantastic American shotgun!
