[QUOTE="freeasaburt, post: 7900153, member: 186462"] Thanks for the feedback! I've walked past that thing a 1000 times but it never crossed my mind to research it. It has a serial number, which is a great start, and I actually like looking up old things, have done so for a few antique/deactivated guns that friends of mine own, for example, including an old Schmidt Rubin 1889, and a black powder Husqvarna side-by-side. Fun times for a history nerd like me! It's a Remington 12, according to the serial number it was made in april 1926. Twenty years before that, the typewriter business as well as the rights to use the Remington name had already been sold to 'Standard', as the wikipedia article mentions. Apparently, my grandfather brought it home from work. It has the Belgian 'azerty' layout, I wonder if it was produced like that in the States or maybe modified here. [/QUOTE]
