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 --
1909 Catalog pg 18 Trap Guns pictures.jpg 1909 Catalog pg 19 Trap Guns text.jpg For most of its years the CEO-Grade Trap Gun listed at $95 but got a big price increase in this last catalog. The Gun Behind the Man, The American Field, Mar. 2, 1907.jpg 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. 140674 01 REMINGTON-1894-DEK-SXS-12-GAUGE.jpg 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. |

Also, my gun is hand engraved on the barrels, not roll stamped. It doesn't state the type of steel, I had assumed Ordnance steel as stated in the ad researcher posted, but I'll look the barrels over to see if they are marked Krupp anywhere.
