Dave possibly I am over thinking this. Is there Paper backs, hard backs, and then the leather bound? If these on DoubleGun are hard backs I will get this ordered right away. Dave what's your thoughts on the chamber markings?

As far as I know the green cloth covered hardback is the only version of
Remington Double Shotguns.
Charles showed in his book and
The Double Gun Journal articles an FE-Grade Trap Gun, P132953 and a CEO-Grade, 132037, that have 2 3/4 stamped in the same spot as 121252's 2 7/8. In 1901, Union Metallic Cartridge Co. offered loaded 12-gauge paper shells in 2 5/8, 2 3/4, 2 7/8, 3 and 3 1/4 inch lengths. The heaviest loads offered were 3 1/2 drams of bulk smokeless powder or 28-grains of dense smokeless powders such as Infallible (opps not yet on the market in 1901) or Ballistite pushing 1 1/4 ounce of shot. Those loads could be had in the 2 3/4 inch or any of the longer cases. The longer cases offering more and better wadding which many serious Pigeon shooters believed in.
