(And yes, they did put the word "Remington" into the pattern on the best guns!)īut you should be aware that that gun probably has 2 1/2" chambers, so modern 2 3/4" shells are ruled out. Remington didn't try to cover up or fake Damascus, the pattern is both pretty and obvious. One thing I have noticed about Remington shotguns with Damascus barrels, there is no doubt they are Damascus. There is a Model 1889, which was Remington's last hammer double gun, but I didn't think any Remington double went that high in serial number, even combined*. This is all I can tell you about it, I hope you can tell me if it has damascus barrels or not, I guess in 1899 Remington made some shotguns with damascus barrels and some without. On the barrel lugs there is the numbers 40 and 43, I understand these numbers have to do with shot pattern, on another lug there is the number 89.Īlso under the breech, when you break open the gun, there are the numbers 112, and 681. There is also the number 712 stamped under on of the barrels. On the underside of the barrels there are some letters, I'm not sure what they mean, ther is the letter "G" on each barrel, with an arrow pointing up from each "G" to a crude looking "P" or "D". On the side of the breech it says "Remington Arms Company".
I can't see any spirals in the barrels, and there isn't any fancy designs on the barrels like some with damascus barrels have. What i can't figure out is if it has damascus barrels or not, I have read that its not advisable to fire modern ammunition in an old shotgun with damascus barrels, and I would like to use this one to hunt with. From what I've been able to figure that means its a model 1899. I have an old Remington double barrel shotgun, the serial # is 218699.
