The gun appears to be a D-Grade, DE-Grade if it has ejectors. "Normally" the grade is stamped on the left watertable --

or on the "bridge" if the gun has what Charles Semmer referred to as the "bridge frame" --

I have seen a handful of Remington Hammerless Doubles that I would consider to be D-/DE-/DEO-Grades that were not stamped.

A DEO-Grade would have "Ordnance Steel" barrels --

Normally 12-gauge Remington Hammerless Doubles were made for 2 5/8 inch shells. If ordered for longer shells, it was stamped on the bottom of the barrels just forward of the barrel flats --

According to Charles' serial number chronology 110960 would be from early 1899.
