David,
Welcome to the forum.


Remington records are not available and 1912 is just a guess. The barrel jacket is marked "THE REMINGTON ARMS UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE COMPANY INC.", which didn't start until 1912 (according to Henwood). I know from lettering Winchesters that high grade guns often shipped latter than the serial number would indicate.
