If the letters apear on the left side of the barrel above the reciver it will help you scipher the date of manufactor.
Please clarify what you mean.
You have a standard-weight Auto-5 in 16ga made in 1954. It is not a Sweet Sixteen, which was actually a specific model and not a generic term. Not sure where you are finding all these marks, perhaps on the barrel? The Belgians put all kind of proofmarks and assembly codes on their parts - barrels and bolts. Is the barrel serialized to match the receiver? The "0 Kg 997" stands for the weight of barrel on date proofed. The sideways "y" is a date code that changed each year. Can't tell about the "z" without seeing location. The "SF" with a star is the Proof Mark of the controller that worked in the proof house assigned to this barrel. "R15478" is the serial number of the gun and may or may not match the number on the barrel ring. As stated above, there are many other proof markings such as Provisional Proof, Smokeless Powder Proof, and so on.
Kibler is the Austrian, Swiss, and South German spelling for the German surname Kübler. It is an occupational name for a cooper. The German word kübel means 'vat' or 'barrel'.
If it's a hammerless boxlock, it could still be a shooter worth $100 - $250. If it has large side hammers, it's a wall decoration but still worth almost as much. I have one... it belonged to my dad...he purchased it used around1918- 1920 SN 410344 stamper on the stock/receiver, barrel and the hand grip, (same numbers on all three pieces) ... Does this mean anytrhing to anyone??? Mdales Only to you. There is no serialization listing for Crescent firearms that would allow you to date its manufacturer.
Proto- means "First" or "Primary". An example is the word "Prototype", which means the first or the original invention or model.
Adjust? You mean to remove or tighten? There is a threaded tightening bolt right in front of the receiver over the barrel.
Caliber is .243, buy ammo in .243.
Remington Model 24 serial no#s were from 00001 to 130,425.Don't know what you mean by long spur and rifle model RW408700?
Doesn't mean anything other then it's a model 1100.The serial won't help you unless you call Remington but It's date stamped on the barrel. Check the Remington Society of America's manufactured date link for details.
Markings typically include model, The Remington trademark, date of manufacture, test marks, inspectors, and proof mark. In some cases it may be a factory repair mark, or indication of Magnaflux testing. See the link below for an illustration of barrel code markings. Note these are for REMINGTON only.
The anchor marking is a final inspection proofmark. It has no connotation with any naval service. www.countrygunsmith.net
KD stands for damascus barrel I do not know what the Y stands for. You should not fire the gun with a damascus barrel because it is weaker and might explode with modern shells
Which ones? The barrel? That's a date code. Check Remington Society of America - manufactured date link.
I don't see dbl in Remington, if you mean the dbl in general when when referring to a Remington firearm that's double as in double barrel shotgun, derringer, etc.
I'm assuming that you are referring to the Remington Model Eleven? (11) shotgun? That anchor stamp is most likely that of an inspector who was issued that stamp symbol and stamped the barrel after it was "proofed", which means that it survived a higher pressure load than what would normally be used for hunting, etc.
The 1100 designation for a Remington shotgun is the model number. Remington makes the 1100 model in a trap version and a field version.
