That Ithaca "bridge trestle" recoil pad on it is worth just about as much to an Ithaca collector as the gun is worth. There just is not much market for these old Remington autoloaders. Hard to get $200 for a nice one, and this one has seen quite a bit of use, and from the pics appears to my eyes to to possibly have been reblued at one time. I have a full set, 12-, 16-, and 20-gauge, all in much nicer shape, and two of my three with solid ribs and I didn't spend $600 on the collection.
They shoot fine. I just ran a 25 straight at Skeet with my 20-gauge yesterday! I've run several with my 12-gauge which is cylinder and my 16-gauge which is improved cylinder, but my 20-gauge is modified and one has to be a little more precise in the pointing.
When Remington added the 20-gauge to the Model 11 line in 1930 they began with serial number 1,000,000 and the 16-gauge began with serial number 1,500,000. The gun known as the Model 11 was introduced in 12-gauge in 1905 by Remington Arms Co. as the "Remington Autoloading Gun." When Remington Arms Co. and Union Metalic Cartridge Co. combined in 1911 as Remington-UMC they began calling the gun the Model 11. About 1920 the company became Remington Arms Co., Inc. In 1934 DuPont acquired controlling interest in Remington Arms Co., Inc., and in 1985 they called in all the Remington stock and issued DuPont stock in exchange.
