My husband worked as manager of a plating firm in Upstate NY. Third shift, he would dine with this old gent who was the janitor. Mr. Wells, the janitor, told him that he used to work for Remington Rand when they switched over to the war effort. It was his job to test fire the guns and as a gift, he was given one. When he passed, my husband was able to buy it from his wife. It distinctly says Remington Rand on the barrel and the serial number on the frame is 25. Remington Rand did not start their serial numbers this low.
Can anyone tell me anything about this gun, its potential value and why it would have this particular serial number when they started with a 9 and were six digits?
Thank you in advance for your help!
