Dave, I think the Twist barrel 1900 has the scent of the Remington research collection. I believe guns are escaping from that collection at a pretty great rate. Not long ago, I found a Model 1882 in absolutely mint condition with no markings at all indicating Remington manufacture, or any other markings at all. Years ago, I found an absolutely mint Model 1889 that appeared to have been in a museum all its life. When we were in Ilion in 1998 with the PGCA Research Committee, Dennis Sanita of Remington mentioned the existence of a computer printout of the Research Collection inventory. Unfortunately, we were too busy to pursue that information. I'm sure that inventory printout still exists, but I don't have any idea how to access it.
