Tell me what you think

[Ed Blake]

What makes you think it's been recased? It seems if that had been done the engraving would be worn somewhat from polishing. That engraving looks pretty sharp to me.

[B. Dudley]

Almost does have a Fox-ish cyanide look to the colors. Very evident on the trigger plate.

I don't know Gary, you might be right but either way that's one nice gun.

One gentleman said it might be the Remington colors just fading away? Gary

[Dean Romig]

Gary, I'm in agreement with that "faded Remington" original colors.
They look to be cyanide, but again, it is a relatively early Remington and the engraving appears to have been done by Robert Runge - in fact, I'd swear to it.
In my opinion, the wood is possibly refinished but the frame and remaining color case is original.

I have a DH with the same wood configuration. Early 1900's mfg. Could that be original wood? The barrel flats show repair codes from the 1940's.

Watertable & forend photos will not load i will try later, Gary

[Hammer Gun]

try again

[Spin Drift]

Does your GH have any repair codes stamped into the barrel flats? My DH is a two barrel set, 26" and 30" with two forends. It letters to the serialization book as such but the high comb type of stock on it now would be uncommon in 1901. The current stock is a kissing cousin to yours.
