The highest grade offered from the introduction of the Remington Hammerless Double in the October 1894 Remington Arms Co. catalog was E-/EE-Grade in 12- or 10-gauge,

In 1897 the 16-gauge was added to the offerings, and Ordnance Steel as an option in all grades and Remington Steel barrels for the A-quality guns.

In 1902 the Remington Special was added at the top of the line --

The A- to C-quality Remington Hammerless Doubles normally had the R A Co. logo hard rubber butt plate.

A horizontally grooved horn butt plate was normal on the D-quality and sometimes on E-quality guns,

but E-quality guns might also have engraved steel heel and toe plates. A leather-faced Silvers pad was another possibility --

The DE-quality Remington Hammerless Double was priced about like a CH Parker Bros. These pages from the 1898 Remington Arms Co. catalog --

From the introduction in October 1894 catalog through the second 1901 catalog Remington Arms Co. only pictured the A-quality gun and just listed the higher quality guns. The 1897 Hartley & Graham catalog pictures all the grades.

I was in Ashville, North Carolina over the weekend and visited the Biltmore. We weren't allowed in the Gun Room, but from the window there appeared to be a pair very similar to Chucks beautiful Remington. Keeping them company looked to be a few Winchester 1894's and a Mannlicher-Schonauer 1903.
