What a wonderful find. That is the earliest Remington Arms Co. hang-tag I've seen. Here is one for a 1902 vintage Remington Hammer Double Barrel Shotgun --

They should be some easy names to research in the Northern Virginia area. I'll bet there is a newspaper article about the "foot".

Yes, truly a great find! Model 1889 #46424 would have been made in 1892. Those pellet counts (344 and 355) or at least the last two digits should be stamped on the barrel lug.

I just dropped one of these off to sell on consignment. They're very nicely made inside - simple and stout. Mine shoots great and breaks clays wayy out there.
