[bahlau]

THIS GUN IS MARKED WILMOT GUN CO. BUT HAS A ( EARLY REMINGTON ARMS CO. BUT PLATE ) AND WAS MOST LIKELY MADE BY PIEPER OF BELGIUM -- IT IS A QUALITY GUN WITH FINE DAMASCUS BARRELS -- HAVE YOU EVER SEEN OR READ ABOUT THIS TRIGGER SYSTEM. AS YOU CAN SEE BOTH TRIGGERS ARE SIDE BY SIDE AT THE REAR OF THE TRIGGER GUARD -- ALSO THE CHECKERING LOOKS LIKE REMINGTON STYLE WITH A REMINGTON SHIELD ON THE FOREARM AND THE REMINGTON BUT PLATE THAT FITS THE WOOD PERFECTLY -- DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS GUN WAS SENT TO THE REMINGTON CUSTOM SHOP -- RESTOCKED AND HAD THE STRANGE SYSTEM INSTALLED ????-- THANK YOU -- RICK

The Wilmot guns I've seen were low priced guns sold by Wm Read & Sons of Boston. There are a couple shown in their 1906 catalogue.
