Old Remington

[paul harm]

To the best of my knowledge Remington had outlets in England and exported guns there. Perhaps Researcher will see this post - he has much more info than anyone. Paul

[Researcher]

In his book, Remington Double Shotguns, Charles Semmer shows on page 29, a Whitmore Hammer Lifter Model 1873, serial number 54, engraved on the rib "E. Remington & Sons New York & London." He states "To date we know of only six so marked." According to Charles' serial number table, it appears each version of the Whitmore lifter-action hammer guns started its own serial number run, so serial number 422 could be an 1873, 1875, 1878 or 1879.

We'd certainly love to see a lot more pictures of this gun. Only the one picture of the rib markings shows up on my computer.

I agree with researcher, more photos are necessary to identify this model.
To the best of my knowledge, Remington never made a Rolling Block Double
Barrel shotgun. A photo of the action would probably answer the question
as to which model this is.

I've seen an experimental rolling-block double, both in person and in a book, but I can't seem to lay my hands on the reference now. The Nagant Bros. built rolling block single shot rifles and shotguns under license from E. Remington & Sons as did Husqvarna in Sweden and numerous others. While E. Remington & Sons built plain rolling-block single shot shotguns at Ilion, they did import fancy engraved models from Nagant Bros.

I'm not a shotgun type, and I am late to the party, but since there is no activity in 6 months I'll jump into the shallow end. To me the key is the ""Brevet Remington" marking. It means that the Shotgun was made in Europe, probably Belgium, under license from Remington. Probably by Nagant since they had a license to make rifles and pistols.
