The A- to C-quality Remington Hammerless Doubles normally had the R A Co. logo hard rubber butt plate.
120794 05.jpg A horizontally grooved horn butt plate was normal on the D-quality and sometimes on E-quality guns, D- & E-quality Butt Plate cropped.jpg but E-quality guns might also have engraved steel heel and toe plates. A leather-faced Silvers pad was another possibility -- P132280 18.JPG |

The DE-quality Remington Hammerless Double was priced about like a CH Parker Bros. These pages from the 1898 Remington Arms Co. catalog --
1898 Remington Arms Co. catalog pg 6.jpg 1898 Remington Arms Co. Catalog pg 7.jpg From the introduction in October 1894 catalog through the second 1901 catalog Remington Arms Co. only pictured the A-quality gun and just listed the higher quality guns. The 1897 Hartley & Graham catalog pictures all the grades. |

I was in Ashville, North Carolina over the weekend and visited the Biltmore. We weren't allowed in the Gun Room, but from the window there appeared to be a pair very similar to Chucks beautiful Remington. Keeping them company looked to be a few Winchester 1894's and a Mannlicher-Schonauer 1903.
