Remington DEO today

[Phil C]

Thought I would share a few pictures at a Remington 1894 SXS I looked at today. I really like the engraving. Metal is pretty good but the wood is replacement and a real mess. The best I can tell there are no records on the guns like we are fortunate to have for Parkers. I did figure out it is a DEO grade.
I only had my Iphone for pictures so they are not great. Is there information as to who did the engraving? Also the barrels are each marked 2 7/8 ???
I know we have a lot of knowledge on this sight and hoping to learn all I can.

I can not believe how horrible the picture I posted looks. It looks nothing like this. Engraving is sharp. What am I doing wrong. I will hold off posting any more pictures until I can figure out what I did wrong.

I guess if you tap the link it becomes clearer.

You can click it twice to get full size. The pics look great, especially for a mobile. Beautiful engraving.

Phil,
The names of engravers that come up in Charles Semmers book is Owne DeLange and Joseph Loy. What a find.

The Remington Society of America has information on other engravers of that era. I would contact them directly and ask for help. That is a beautiful and rare gun that deserves to be brought back to its former glory. Thanks for sharing.
