My latest acquisition arrived in the mail today...a clean little Remington model 51 and from what I have found, the serial seems to date it about 1927 which I believe was toward the end of production (604XX).
A disassembly and cleaning revealed a surprising lack of battering and wear and the finish is pretty decent for a 95 year old gun.
I suspect the magazine is not original, for it only has a J stamped in the floorplate and 380 cal on the side.
I ran five quick rounds through it and it fired like a champ.
