COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a Holy Grail, museum-tier piece of American shotgun artistry: an original 1954 Remington Model 11-48F "Premier Grade" semi-automatic shotgun chambered in the highly elusive .410 Bore. Serial number 4108025 stamped on the lower receiver frame confirms manufacture in 1954, maybe 1955 during the golden age of Remington Custom Shop production. Custom-crafted as an F-Grade—the absolute highest grade offered by Remington—this sub-gauge auto-loader features a 25-inch matted ventilated rib barrel equipped with white front and mid-beads. Standing as an extraordinarily rare, one-of-a-kind treasure, this Premier Grade .410 represents one of the absolute finest examples of Remington Custom Shop craftsmanship in existence.
Masterfully executed by legendary Remington Factory Master Engraver Carl Ennis, the blued receiver features three game scene vignettes on each side displaying pointing dogs and game birds set against finely stippled backgrounds. An engraved letter "E" in the left center vignette confirms Ennis's personal handiwork. The intricate vine-type foliate engraving extends across the upper and lower receiver, trigger guard bow, top tang, and barrel breech. Stocked in exhibition-grade American black walnut, the stock set consists of a trim finger-groove forend and a round-knob pistol grip buttstock with a Remington hard rubber grip cap and high-gloss finish. The wood features fine "F" grade hand-checkering and an oval brass presentation plate in the toeline engraved "EN" in script, measuring a 13-7/8" length of pull over an original Remington buttplate.
The overall cosmetic condition of this Master Engraved Remington Model 11-48F is very fine to near-mint, retaining 99% of its original factory blued finish with only light muzzle wear, minor thinning along the bottom receiver, and sharp, crisp engraving cuts throughout. The exhibition-grade American walnut stock set presents in very good condition with a few scattered handling marks and minor spots of finish wear on the toeline. Mechanically, the recoil-operated action functions with vault-tight, hand-fitted Custom Shop precision, cycling smoothly and locking up solid, while the 25-inch barrel preserves a bright, mirror-shiny bore free of any imperfections.
