Thanks for all of the feedback guys. I will be posting some more pictures in a few hours.
Were thes D grades stocked with exhibition grade American walnut? |

I would say "yes" to that question. Are you sure this is a 12 gauge and not a 10?

The Remington Society of America has information on other engravers of that era. I would contact them directly and ask for help. That is a beautiful and rare gun that deserves to be brought back to its former glory. Thanks for sharing.

I recently scored an 1895 vintage picture of 39 men of the shotgun department at Remington Arms Co. There were three Goughs in the picture -- George Gough, Herb Gough Sr., and Bert Gough Jr. No Joe Loy or Owne DeLange in the picture, but it did include a fairly young Be(u)rt Becker.
I wouldn't let any Juglans nigra anywhere near that gun. Only Juglans regia!! The Remington Arms Co. catalogs of the period state the K-grades were stocked in "selected walnut." Remington Hammerless Doubles from A-Grade to EEO-Grade were stocked in "English Walnut" and the Remington Special in "Circassian Walnut." For A- & B-grades and the FE-Grade Trap Gun the later catalogs state "English Walnut", for C-Grades "Fine English Walnut", for D-Grades "Fine selected English Walnut" and for E-Grades "Best English Walnut." |

Gun is now mine. I plan to have restocked. It is definitely a 12 gauge I took the chamber gauges with me this morning. Also the chambers measure exactly 2 7/8".
Every time I say no more SXS something comes along that I would never had expected and I fall off the wagon. http://parkerguns.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1479237474 |
