Title pretty much says it all, going to a regional gunshow next month, maybe I'll get hooked up.
 
You prob already know this, but... Models prior to - iirc, 1927 (or 1928?) - will have 2 9/16" chambers, not 2 3/4" chambers. I had a 1926 model and it had the short chambers.

Also, another trivia note. The black Remington game loads/hulls (rabbit/dove on the box), while they SAY 2 3/4", they are really 2 9/16" hulls!

Good luck!

Wish this had been a year sooner, I traded a nice 1940s vintage one off at the Chisholm Trail show out at Hartman Arena. Is that the show you plan to look for one at? Best gun show I ever attended.
 
That's the show out at Park City; yeah I plan on going to see what they have. I loaded a few this afternoon and went up the hill to my range and shot (3). Without the Limbsaver pad and having shoulder reconstruction it wasn't a real joy. Loaded to a 3-1-8 load. My Lee loader, I think it's called a load-all, doesn't drop powder true to the legend provided. Dropped a charge and then weighed it to make sure and while it was supposed to be 15.8gr of Green Dot is was only 13.3. I shot some with the 15.8 and 13.3 and couldn't tell much difference.
