Default Remington DEO today

Thought I would share a few pictures at a Remington 1894 SXS I looked at today. I really like the engraving. Metal is pretty good but the wood is replacement and a real mess. The best I can tell there are no records on the guns like we are fortunate to have for Parkers. I did figure out it is a DEO grade.
I only had my Iphone for pictures so they are not great. Is there information as to who did the engraving? Also the barrels are each marked 2 7/8 ???
I know we have a lot of knowledge on this sight and hoping to learn all I can.

I can not believe how horrible the picture I posted looks. It looks nothing like this. Engraving is sharp. What am I doing wrong. I will hold off posting any more pictures until I can figure out what I did wrong.

You can click it twice to get full size. The pics look great, especially for a mobile. Beautiful engraving.

Phil,
The names of engravers that come up in Charles Semmers book is Owne DeLange and Joseph Loy. What a find.

Wow!! That could be a worthy restoration project. Any pictures of the 2 7/8 markings? According to surviving hang-tags I've seen, Remington Arms Co. 12-gauge doubles were made for 2 5/8 inch shells. In his book, the late Charles Semmer showed a CEO-grade with 2 3/4 markings on the bottom of the tubes just forward of the barrel flats.

I'm sure that with a liberal application of dollars one of our good stock men could make it look a bit more like this --
