Please help ID large frame RB

Post by Bobcat08 »

New to the forum. My primary interest is in vintage Rem shotguns but I did buy a RB at an estate auction recently. It was described as a NY 50/70 but since we already have one I knew this was not the case. It has the very high hammer indicative of foreign mfg, 36" bbl approx 50 cal bore with shiney shallow rifling. Full length stock sling loops etc full military presentation. Left side hammer #3, top of buttplate "F" , 36 F over 305 stamped in top of buttstock and a faint cartouche directly behind receiver left side, " RPB" base of bbl left side. Top of tang "Remingtons Ilion NY USA " over a very small line of difficult to read Pat dates. Bottom tang reads " Pat Aug 27th 1867 over Nov 7th 1871" Overall in good cond and tight action. Appreciate any clues..
