Default Help to identify this Remington

I believe this is a Remington 1894 but I'm not sure of the grade. Anyone know for sure? Also is the grade marked anywhere on the gun?

Chuck: the barrels of "Legia P." usually found on D grades

That's a winner I just aquired a really nice original CE. Looking at Semmers book I believe you have a nice D grade which are rare. Made from 1894 to say 1907 hard to tell according to Semmers book. and engraved by some of the best. Possibly including Joseph Loy who in my mind was one of the best engravers ever. Let me know if you ever decide to part with it. You you can borrow Semmers book there is quite a bit of info on this model. It is a considerable step up from the C grade. My shoots doves like a dream although they are heavy!!

So Drew, would you say this is a DEO grade? It does have ejectors.

The gun appears to be a D-Grade, DE-Grade if it has ejectors. "Normally" the grade is stamped on the left watertable --

or on the "bridge" if the gun has what Charles Semmer referred to as the "bridge frame" --

101315 BE-Grade 12-ga 07.jpg

I have seen a handful of Remington Hammerless Doubles that I would consider to be D-/DE-/DEO-Grades that were not stamped.

A DEO-Grade would have "Ordnance Steel" barrels --

P132688 06.jpg

Normally 12-gauge Remington Hammerless Doubles were made for 2 5/8 inch shells. If ordered for longer shells, it was stamped on the bottom of the barrels just forward of the barrel flats --

121252 DEO-Grade 07 2 7-8 inch chamber marking.jpg

According to Charles' serial number chronology 110960 would be from early 1899.

Thanks for the info. Not my gun yet! Any idea as to rarity and wild ballpark value assuming good original, mechanical, and physical condition?
