Neat link

It appears to be a Model 1934/35 Remington. THey were made on Model 30 actions with the intent to market them to South American countries. Only large production run I know of was in 7mm and Sarco reimported some back in the 70s. Condition was rough to say the least. This one looks very good. THere is a good description of these here http://oldguns.net/q&a5_99.htm

The 1934 Remington was also known as the Model 40; they were made in 7mm for Honduras (possibly in 7.65 for Argentina)and one account claims only 3000 or so were built. I'm curious as to whether the M1934 cocks on close or on open as the later M30 Express.
