I know that a lot of very old Remingtons didn't have any serial number... but not heard about an 870 without. The very early 870's didn't have a year code in their serial numbers.... My 1954 has none. Remington are pretty good about getting the info for you though!Learn something new everyday...the Remington Support guy told me that some of the early models didn't have them....or maybe I got the 870 mixed up with another firearm (it happens).
