Beware of scammers.

The Eddystone Arsenal was a subsidiary of Remington during WW1 so I guess it qualifies.

Need pics and other identifying features to be able to help you.

As I recall Remington stopped cut checkering and started stamped checkering about 1963 or so. If your guns do indeed have cut checkering they may be higher grades which would increase value. More info and photos would help determine what you have.

Thanks for the pics. I don't see percussion fences so you have a '78 or '79. Remington converted to the lever style in '82.

The '79 was generally produced in 12 Ga. but there may be some 10 Ga. out there. The S/Ns for the '78 and '79 are mixed so that doesn't help with the ID. Most likely you have ...

A picture of your gun would help ID what you have. As I said, the presence or absence of percussion fences is a sure way to determine if you have a '76 (or earlier) model.

According to Charles Semmer's book "Remington Double Shotguns" the '78 differs from the '76 as follows.1. '78 does not have a percussion fence. 2. Bolsters are larger than the '76. 3. The firing pins on the '78 tend to disappear in the bolsters and the flat face of the hammers appear to enter the ...

Remington offered barrel length of 28, 30 or 32". Of course Remington would make a gun to order. Still cal/cyl choke seems questionable. We need pics of the muzzle to help determine if the barrel was cut.

Your 1858 appears to have entered this world in Dec. of 1863. Additional S/Ns should be located on the frame under the left grip and trigger guard tab. I don't see an inspectors cartouche stamped on the left grip so it may have been a civilian issue rather than military.

Your wish has been granted. Check your post in the rifle section. Don't know if records still exist.

I believe they were blued. However Remington would build to the customers wishes.

You have a Model 11 auto loader designed by John Browning. The Model 11 was produced from 1905 until 1947.

The 1889 is a SxS hammer shotgun which was made between 1889 and 1909.

FYI - the S/N for the 1902 K stamped STAR KG3 is 320187.

I sent the data for all my hammer and hammerless guns to Charles Semmer back in the day. I have no idea where all his data is since his passing.

Questions answered and questions renewed.

I have a 1910 vintage KED lite weight. It is stamped LKEDY. That explains the leading L.

A 1902 standard K I have is stamped STAR KG3. The star is five pointed. No hash marks.

In discussions with Charles Semmer many years ago we talked about lite weight ...

I doubt the military vs civilian versions would have different sights but????. The only affect a taller front sight has is to strike the target lower with all other factors being equal. How much this approximate 0.060" difference would make I don't know. We need to take the weapons to the range and ...

Good point!

Measured the 3/64 barrel just in front of the blade. Measures 0.692".

The 7/64 measures 0.682".

The 3/64 has sharp, crisp address stamping on the barrel while the 7/64 appears to have been refinished as the stamping is faint and partly missing. This may (should) account for the 0.010 ...
