*ROBERT RUNGE ENGRAVED REMINGTON MODEL 58 F MADE FOR THE PRESIDENT OF REMINGTON ARMS, MOST LIKELY THE FIRST OF THIS MODEL PRODUCED.

SN 1001-V. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 28″ Bbl, choked modified, with ventilated rib, is marked with typical Remington nomenclature. As Remington started serial numbering each model at 1000, this is possibly the very first production gun of this series, of which over 270,000 were made from 1956 – 1963. A factory letter states that this gun “was made for M. R. Warden, who was president of Remington when the Model 58 was first introduced in 1956. The engraving was done by Robert P. Runge, one of our premier engravers, who has since retired.” The engraving covers the entire action with large, shaded, scrolled acanthus with stippled background, surrounding relief gold inlaid vignettes of dogs and feathered game in well detailed backgrounds. Left side depicts a pair of pointers at center, with a flushing pheasant at left and mallard at right. Right side of action shows a pair of setters at center pointing a flushing quail at right; a ruffed grouse wings over meadow into woods at left. A spaniel’s head is engraved on trigger guard bow. Quality of this engraving and inlay is very fine, and engravers signature, “RPR”, is at bottom of central scene on left side of action. Beautifully flame figured American walnut stocks are oil finished, and are checkered in point pattern with beaded borders. Pistol grip cap has inset gold oval engraved with monogram “M R W”. Another gold oval (vacant) is inlet on toe line. Stock is fitted with Remington composition buttplate. Drop at heel: 2-1/4″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 7 lbs. 11 oz. LOP: 13-7/8″. PROVENANCE: Remington factory letter. CONDITION: Excellent, near new, with only a few minor marks on wood and metal. A small piece of gold inlay is missing from the left front foot of pointer on left side of action. Bore is excellent. Action crisp. 4-49548 MGM65 (5,000-8,000) – Lot 3493
