In 1937, Remington reduced the roll-stamping on "The Sportsman" the bird on each side and started putting the roll-stamping on Model 11 receivers as well. In 1934 DuPont acquired controlling interest of Remington Arms Co., Inc. "The Sportsman" had a three-bird roll-stamping on each side of the receiver. In 1930, they also introduced a three-shot version in 20-gauge called "The Sportsman." The 20-gauge “The Sportsman” had serial numbers beginning low 1? Maybe 1000? They added 12- and 16-gauge "The Sportsman" in 1931, with 12-gauge "The Sportsman" having serial numbers starting at 500,000 and 16-gauges having serial numbers starting at 200,000. The people at Remington History section would tell you that “All Sportsman shotguns produced had an “S” preceding the serial number.” And their SN’s started at 500,000.
