Re: Remmington Model 1875

It looks a lot like it, but I am not an expert; I had it appraised at an upstate NY gun dealer, and asked this forum and looked at many online sites. What is the seri al number of your gun?

Re: Remington side by side 12 gauge shotgun

Grade 5. There is an engraved dog/duck scene on one side, and a rabbit scene on the other. This was my grandfather's shotgun, along with a .32 cal Hepburn rifle. Pics of both are posted on this forum.
The advertisement looked so much like this shotgun I just had to comment.

I have the1875 grade 5 shotgun from the post a few below this one. It is clean, but the damascus barrel is very faint, except under the foreward wood. Should I have the barrels refinished? Also, does anyone know of a good gunsmith near Syracuse, NY for appraisal and possibly the refinishing? Thanks,...

My other brother remembers our grandfather shooting this shotgun. That must have beenin the mid to la...

Re: Help with identifying this shotgun please?

When I lift the lever to break the barrels, the hammers do not move. Is that what you need?
