It would be nice to know Remington's rate of prodiction on No1. I would assume that this rifle was most certainly made before 1879 Now I have another rifle without a plaque with a serial number in the 1400's. I think it is safe to assume that the rifle was made sometime in 1879 or no earlier then 1878. The serial number is in the low 3,000 range. 1 Sporter with a silver plaque.No way to determine who the people were mentioned on that plaque but it is dated November 1879. Occasionally one gets a little information as to a manufacturing year. It nevers ceases to frustrate me when you look at or purchase a No.1 Sporter with matching serial numbers and it it isn't even possible to determine the year of manufacture.
