Remington SxS damascus
 

Does anyone have access to info on Remington SxS Damascus 12 gauge SN 343321?

According to the serial number chronology compiled by the late Charles Semmer for his book Remington Double Shotguns, it would be a late 1903 vintage gun. With Damascus barrels it would be a KD-Grade if it has plain extractors or a KED-Grade if it has automatic ejectors. From the 1903-04 Remington Arms Co. catalogue --

Well built and usually good shooting economy grade double. A gun you can use in rough conditions when a high grade gun could be harmed. A great gun to alter as you see fit for your needs without worry of hurting a collectors value as there is little. I think of my 12ga KE as a Trojan with ejectors. It's a real tight shooter with my reloads. They also tend to be on the heavy side, 8lbs, but I am OK with that.

My Rem. 1900, KED in 16ga. weighs in at 7lb. 12oz. and is a joy to carry.

Daryl,

Did you really mean 7?

Thanks for that link. Based on a discussion on that site the gun seems to be a model 1900 with the earlier (unimproved) lock.

OOOPS! Sorry Dave, should have been a 6.
