The left side of the barrel is stamped with a sideways "V" then "OY" followed by an "H" which sits a little higher and out of line from the "OY." So the barrel marking looks something like "> OY H" I made the assumption that this meant the barrel was manufactured in July 1974 based on the manufacturing date information here on the web site but I am not sure. The butt pad is perhaps not original and is fairly thick and vented and labeled "Pachmayr Gun Works, Los Angeles Calif." The wood looks better than average and there is what looks like a rosewood cap on the grip. The stock is walnut and the checkering is hand cut. The engraving is scrollwork inlaid with gold. Any help and insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.įirst, this Model 1100 has an engraved receiver inlaid with gold but it is not in a hunting scene as described for "1 of 3000" models or "Ducks Unlimited" models.
There are some confounding bits of information that that seem to contradict all of the descriptions I found so far. I have read all the posts I could find here on the Society web site as well as the wonderful article on the history of the Model 1100 and the manufacture date information yet with all of that very helpful information I am still stumped by the Model 1100 that I have here. Thank you all in advance for reading and rsponding to yet another Model 1100 identification posting.
