But those would usually be marked. Other than that, it looks like no other hammer gun that I have seen.

Thanks, Brian
It’s the way the stock is connected to the breach that is so different from any other. My uncle told me it was an 1894 Remington made for sears or someone that never got stamped, when he gave it to me about 5 years ago. I disclaimed that in about 30 minutes on the internet 3 days ago when I started researching it. 1889 was the last year of the Remington hammer gun although the 1889 hammer on the Remington is identical in pattern but like the gun not as solid. The hammer on both guns must have been patterned after one another. Which one came first are another mystery and another reason to find out the date of manufacture on this one. Remington may have bought out this company and implemented some of its better features, but this hammer gun probably is post 1900 and improved Remington’s features.
I'll look at the J. Stevens Arms and tool gun.
