The Remington 1894 EEO 16 Ga listed in the recent Cowan auction has Remington steel barrels and are stamped accordingly, not ordnance. Also, the top rib is without matting.
I researched this exact gun two years ago with several pictures sent to me from the owner at that time. The barrels were in the white back then.

With that said, I hope the new owner doesn't really know what he bought, or knows, and wants to find ordnance grade barrels for it
There were other mistakes made with a couple of other Remington doubles on the same auction.
