Mystery Remington

I have a Remington 11 I'd like to know more about.
The serial number is 2720. It has the old type birds head pistol grip and is checkered. Barrel length is 18.5 inches. Front sight is a bead on a ramp.

The Remington Model 11 is a licensed version of the Browning Automatic Shotgun. They were made by Remington in a variety of configurations from 1911 until 1948. If you have a model 11 with a barrel that measures 18" it was most likely cut down to that size by a previous owner.

The 3-shot version is called The Sportsman, and so marked on the bolt and receiver. The 5-shot version was marked Model 11. But there are a lot of people who talk about the "Model 11 Sportsman", although there was never a shotgun so marked (possibly to distinguish it from the Sportsman 48, the 3-shot version of the 11-48). Many of the parts (bolt, barrel, forearm, magazine tube, recoil springs, and a few others) are different and will not interchange,
