Hey Fellas, I stumbled on two Deluxe Model 8's and yes the "3" is stamped in the forearm on both rifles. One of the rifles is a .32 and all the numbers match. The other one is a 1911 .300 Savage. Yeah, I know they didn't make a .300 Savage in 1911. Again all the numbers match and I am trying to determine if the barrel switch was done by the folks at Remington or was it done by a good gunsmith. In either case, the job is perfect. The checkering, according to 81police is original factory and it is beautiful. One set of my pictures would give the impression that the checkering is very thin, but that is not the case. My picture taking ability isn't very good but I am working on that problem. As the old saying goes; "Even a blind sow can find an acorn once in a while!" Oink Oink!!

Yeah, you did good on those two! I take it you scored both of those in the same transaction? Awesome find.

Walt,
You are correct. It was quite a find. When I first learned of them, the price was quite high and I said no. The next thing I knew the guy had mailed them to me at his expense and cut the price in half if I would take both of them. I had not paid for them but I sent him a check.
Jack
