You have a Remington Model 1889 Grade 1 double barrel made in 1905. The stock has been modified into a pistol configuration. Your shotgun is missing the barrels and fore end.

It does look like a 1878 Heavy Duck Model but I believe it is a grade 4 with that much engraving. Does the barrel have the dolls head extension that fits into the receiver? This would confirm a Model 1878 or 1879, but by the size of the bolsters I would be willing to bet it is a Heavy Duck. As for ...
