Got it for what I figure was a decent price, considering its condition. Nice tight action, cycles flawlessly, great bluing and wood. From what I understand, there were surprisingly few of these made(~30000) and it dates back to about 1933? It has a mid 20k serial number, anyone care to enlighten me a little more?
It has an adjustable choke, and is p/a with bottom eject.

Approximately 24,000 manufactured from 1929 to 1933.

Designed by Pederson who was known to make simple functions complicated. The model 10/29's did not wear well and function very poorly if at all when they do. If lightly used they seem ok which I would say yours is.
Problem is if they do act up parts are impossible to locate and anyone that knew how to fix them are probally dead. I can probally still fix a model 31 but even though I have been working on rem pumps since the mid 60's I might remember seeing two 29's in my travels and never had one apart.
