Remington SxS 12 gauge

Can anyone help me with the approximate age of this Remington shotgun or reference a link where I can look it up? It's a side x side double with the serial no. 319324. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

made before 1995 im pretty sure. not entirely though. my dads friend got one in 1997 i think with the last 3 in the serial being 8xx . perfect dove / pheasant gun. saw a side x side remington at cabelas in serial number with last 3 as 8xx, infact they had a whole hsit load of them. that was last year, in 2009.

Pics and/or a better description would help, as Remington made several diferent SxS shotguns from the 1880's through 1940.

Many identifying marks can be found on either/both the actions watertable flat(s), and the flats & barrel undersides.

Does it have external hammers, or is it hammerless ?

Does it have engraving of any kind on the action, or is it plain ?

Does it have a prominent/recessed hinge pin that looks like a protruding belly button ?

Is the outside of the buttplate marked with a logo ?
