How old is this Remington Pump?

I`d like to find someone that knows how to cipher the serial number. Just bought a Remington 12C pump

Model 12 was made between 1909 and 1936. 12C with octagon barrel are later production. Better info comes with better info presented...

Letter are used for month n' year post 1930.

Sorry, yes it is an Octagon barrel. Serial number starts with a RW and is followed by 66_ _ _

RW isn't part of the codified serials...it stands for Remington Works. 66### would suggest early-mid 20's.
