I suppose this is a good place to check, I was recently given a Remington rolling block and a very limited history behind it. Apparently my grandfather purchased it around 1963 in Laredo Texas while he was serving or just after, in the Airforce. Its been sitting in a corner in my grandmothers bedroom since the beginning of time. She thought it was time to pass it on.
I don't know anything about it other than the details listed below.
24" Barrel to breech, 39.5" OAL
Width of reciever at breech is close to 1.156"
Caliber unknown
Top tang reads:
"E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION NY USA
PAT MAY 3D 1864. MAY 7TH. JUNE 11TH. NOV 12TH. DEC 24TH 1872. DEC 31ST 1972. SEPT 8TH 1873 JAN 12TH. MARCH 18TH 1874" (ALL IN 3 LINES)
Top and bottom tang on left side under stock read "23416"
And there appears to be 2 lines on breech end of barrel and 1 line in reciever (possible alignment marks?)
There are no other markings or stamps (that can be seen) anywhere else on this thing.
Anyone know how I can possibly identify date of manufacture, and caliber?
