I seem to recall the first guns were 1973, and the next round was around '82. Not really unusual as I have 3 regular 1100 barrels with no date coding as well. I do not remember all the years offhand, and the serial number is no help, and I have seen 2 dinner guns and several commercial models with no - zero - date coding on the barrel. From the serial number yours is the commercial grade. Then I'm pretty sure they made a 20 gauge 1100 dinner gun, too. Some years later - around '82 - they made another round of commercial grade guns, and those had the heavier rollmarking that had come into favor. The first commercial grade guns had slightly better than average wood, standard but gold inlaid rollmarking, with the addition of a DU crest on the left side of the receiver. In any event, in 1973 the "dinner" guns were made for chapters to auction off at the DU Dinners, and they had excellent wood, hand checkering, and some hand engraving, and DU decoration. Remington made I believe 4 different Model 1100 DU "Commemorative" guns, but it might have just been 3.

Then, you should have found the link to date codes.Īnd, you would have also found the lists of the shotgun prefix and suffix codes.
