Remington 1875 and 1890 Barrel address. mine are Diffrent ??

Post by dingus »

Ok i have what i think is a nickled 1890 (could be a 1875) but i think its a 1890 but istead of the normal E remington & son barrel address mine says

Remington Arms co. ilion.n.y

Is that normal or did remington change there barrel address on the later 1890 guns?
Its the short barreled gun 5 and 3/4s or so does not look cut down.

All 1890's have Remington Arms co, if you have an what you believe is any 1890 with a E Remington address it's an 1888 (or a faked one made from an 1875 with the loading arm web removed).
