Late Remington Hammerless Doubles

[Dave Noreen]

The serial number chronology Charles Semmer created for his book, Remington Double Shotguns, shows serial numbers for Remington Hammerless Doubles (aka Model 1894s) up to 141194. In a lifetime of keeping track of Remington Hammerless Doubles I've recorded many up into the 139xxx range and then five Krupp barrel guns in the 1406xx range. Any of you folks have or know of any others in the 140xxx and 141xxx serial number range?

I don’t know about any guns with that high of a serial number though I do have a late 138,955 SN FE which I think is a last year gun for 1894s. Norvell-Shapleigh bought out Remington’s last few thousand guns, right? Would it be fair to say guns above 140,000 were after the sale? Did Norvell-Shapleigh finish or assemble any guns or just resell Remington made guns?

I see another Remington Hammerless Double in the 1406xx range has surfaced, 140663 --
