The Remington Hammerless Doubles last appear in the 64 page 1909 Remington Arms Co. catalog. Here are the pages 18 and 19 with the Trap Guns --

For most of its years the CEO-Grade Trap Gun listed at $95 but got a big price increase in this last catalog.

There was also a 36 page 1909 Remington Arms Co. catalog that didn't include the doubles.

The highest serial number Remington Hammerless Doubles I've recorded are a nest of D Quality guns with Krupp Steel barrels that I guess we would call DEK-Grades in the 1406xx serial number block. A few years back Steve Barnett had 140674 for sale. I looked at it at the winter Las Vegas show.

Serial number 140670 28-inch straight grip and 140672 30-inch straight grip sold at the December 2019 RIA auction. I've also seen 140667 a set of Krupp barrels. Wonder if they will appear as a complete gun one of these days!!

Thanks, Researcher. I wonder how long the hardware store took to sell them off and if Shapleigh ran ads in magazines back then? I remember Remington was concerned of shotgun market damage if all 5,000 guns were dumped at once.
