Model 1894 FE Trap Year of Manufacture

[bls4321]

I Have a 1894 FE Trap and would like to get the year of manufacture. The serial number is P133410. Couple of other questions as well. On the top of the barrel it is marked Trap Gun. F. Grade. The gun has ejectors. Is it a FE? The barrels are stamped in a vertical fashion F E H 3. What were the choke designations on these shotguns. Looks like the right barrel has a 296 pellet count and the left 307. Anything else anyone has to offer on this gun would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Yes it is a FE grade made in mid 1906. The choke for the right barrel is IM (58%) and the left is also IM (60%) based on 510 #8 pellets in a 1 1/4 oz load.

Looks like you have a nice FE-Grade.

To date no production records for Remington Hammerless Doubles have been found. The late Charles Semmer constructed the Remington Hammerless Double serial number chronologies for his book Remington Double Shotguns from surviving shipping records. The FE-Grade "Trap Gun" was introduced in the 1905-06 Remington Arms Co. catalog --

So far, the lowest serial number FE-Grade "Trap Gun" I've recorded is 132953 and the highest is 139284.
