Seems like there was a Remington 53, a version of the 51. Found this on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Model_510 ):

Quote:
Despite its shortcomings, the design was recommended for adoption by the Army Board during the First World War as the scaled-up .45 caliber Remington Model 53. Testing of the prototype against production M1911 showed the Remington design to be more reliable.[5] Initially, Remington demanded a large amount of money up-front to tool-up for the gun, but negotiations were cut short by America's entrance into World War I.
