If you will post all the markings and where found (look on the bottoms of the barrels and the watertable of the frame), we can tell you what grade gun you have These guns, depending on grade came with a number of various attributes which are too many for me to list here. Percentage figures are for the amount of original finish left on the metal and wood and assumes that the gun is in good mechanical condition. When this is the case, I give the values of the lowest grade which in this case would be the AE Grade. There were about as many grades as Carter had Little Liver Pills (ask your grandfather about this). According to the serial number you give, your gun was made in 1894. This one is s slide action shotgun which ain't no double barrel and the other is a Model 1894 which is a hammerless double that was made from 1894 to 1910. One is a Remington Model 1908, also known as a Model 10. In the serial number charts there are two models that have serial number ranges that include the one you give. You didn't say if the gun is an outside hammer type or a hammerless. Wasn't it Sherlock Holmes that said "You eliminate the possibilities and what is left is the truth. By a process of elimination, I think I have determined which Remington double barrel shotgun you have.
