Default Remington 1885 grade and info?

A number of years back I got this from a neighbor’s closet. I believe its a grade 6? Its also unusual in the lack of a tab at rear top of barrel thet locks into the receiver. I ve been watching the online auctions but havent seen another like it. Any comments or info from an expert would be appreciated. Thanks

That is quite the unique shotgun. Perhaps it was ordered by a Pigeon shooter that didn't like the rib extension in the way for loading. Quite a few Parker Bros. were ordered without the rib extension.

The late Charles Semmer in his book Remington Double Shotguns certainly didn't show such a gun or any Model 1885 above Grade 5.

Perhaps you would get some Remington hammer gun expertise on the Remington Society of America web site --

Are the barrels marked with the type of barrel steel on this gun? It is quite a beautiful example. Thank you for sharing pictures.
