Remington produced the model 1894 with two types of fluid steel barrels, Ordnance was one and barrels were stamped as such. E grade is one of the highest graded Remingtons, an EEO would be E grade, Ejectors, Ordnance Steel barrels. When Charles Semmer wrote his book there were only 17 known E grades. This 16ga gun is featured on page 190, it is listed as an EEO and is noteable for being the only one known with spearheads on the cheek panel. The barrels of this gun in pictures of it on the auction site show Remington fluid steel barrels, not Ordnance. Semmer's book does not show the barrel stampings. So the question is, is it an EE grade with Remington Steel barrels or was it an EEO grade that has been rebarreled. I suspect the former as many folks not familar with Remington doubles think fluid steel = Ordnance steel.
