1894 on Gunbroker

Nice looking EE grade but the grade is not stamped on either of the flats. Also, it has been drilled for a sling. Does this sound factory?

Are you talking 100173? Looked at it at The Vintage Cup. It is the earliest EE-Grade pictured in Charles Semmer's book. Not grade marked.

How about posting a link?

Serial # is 100202. I bought the shotgun but still would like the information. I will try to post the link but if I am unsuccessful here is the item number. 308385893. It would be under closed auctions by now I am sure.

Thanks, Tom.

Charlie, it appears that my last reply did not go through. Thank you and "researcher" for your information. I have your book and will have the picture of the plate but thanks. I tried to contact you via the internet before I bought the gun but not being internet savvy I failed. I have collected Remington Doubles for years. This is the first time that I had a chance to have one of this grade in 1894 so I gambled and took the plunge.
Thanks again, Tom

Wow!! Beautiful gun!! Good buy.

Yes, old 100173 was in the wooden case with the M. Hartley Co. label in the lid, and a brass cleaning rod and some loading implements also in the case.

I received the shotgun on the 18th and found that the left tube ejector was broken. Seller said that he would repair it but was wondering if it would be possible to find one that would be the same. I have 2 other 1894 ejectors but they are different
