I've got an ancient one myself, fired lots of the 1 1/4 ounce 3 3/4 dram Remington heavy game loads out of it with no trouble. Don't know the year on mine, as it's so old the serial number is literally worn off.
They're essentially the same gun from the start of manufacture till they quit making them in the 50's. Have the wall thickness checked, if that's something that worries you.
