What about the pin marked by Dave’s blue arrow? Anybody know what that is?

Double the higher end? Do you mean double the $1650 that Mr. Hanson estimated? I think his estimate did not include the fact that the gun has been incorrectly refinished. $3300 is about three times what the gun should sell for. Not a bad gun for the right price. We need a better look at the sides and bottom of the receiver to determine the quality of the redone case colors.

Seems to be too much "straw" color in the receiver.

Metal has been re-done.

What does the pin at the blue arrow indicate? I haven't observed that previously.

It is identical in appearance, and location, to an Austrian, or German gun with cocking indicators. It appears aligned with the center-line of the hammer on the right side, and when the hammer is back, it presses upon the bottom of the pin, extending it up. Why there isn't on on the left side, I haven't a clue.

I'll bet it is in no way a cocking indicator.

I wondered if it might have something to do with an older gun being converted to the new-style coil top-lever spring at the same time it got the 1910 bolt and bolt-plate?

Speaking of the top-lever, it should have been color case hardened, not that nice nitre blue what would look great on a B or higher grade Remington Hammerless Double!

Could be a nice shooter if the seller was realistic on his pricing.
