Remington DEO today

[Phil C]

Dave,
Thank you for all of the Historical data you archive on vintage guns and ammunition. You are a wealth of knowledge.
I had no idea how fortunate I was to acquire my new Remington DEO until you as well as others unselfishly shared your knowledge.
I am really excited about getting this gun back to its former glory, and hopefully will be able to get more history on this gun.
I know so far that the owner ( seller) in his 80's received this gun on his 14th birthday. It was given to him by his grandfather whom was a doctor and purchased it used from another Doctor in their home town for the occasion.

Phil,

Glad to see this fine old gun in committed hands to bring her back.

I spoke with Mr. Semmer on many occasions and the last correspondence that I had from him shortly before his passing was that he had catalogued 44 E Grades and 41 D Grades.

I am sure that you have someone in mind to undertake your stock work, however, you might do a search on the 1894 Remington Pigeon Gun that the American Custom Gunmaker's Guild commissioned a few years ago. The stock although a straight grip has the Arrow Points and cheek checkering of the classic D Grade. The Stockwork was crafted by a friend Doug Mann of St, Anne, IL.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Will
