Sweet!! I'm very fond of my FE-Grade Trap even thought it has an after market beavertail. The story I got from Jerry Smith when I bought it was it had been the gun of an old Pennsylvania live bird shooter for whatever that is worth.

The grip on my gun is quite thick, as is the comb, but everything about the stock looks 100% Remington.

Overall heavier stock than my other Remington Hammerless Doubles.

From the 1909 Remington Arms Co. catalog --

I first start seeing the FE Trap Guns in the 1329xx range and quite a few in the 133xxx & 134xxx range then another bunch in the 138xxx & 139xxx range. The "Grade F.E. for Trap Shooting" first appears in the 1905-06 Remington Arms Co. catalog.
