I think it is "A"grade, and the model is 1900 not 1894

The cut line is where the rib join the extension that is the part of barrels or "monoblock".
I am not sure how Remington made them.I will check it out.

I believe that virtually all damascus bbls were made of two tubes joined together. The breech section was formed thicker than the rest of the bbl. Many makers tried their best to make this as invisable as possible, but obviously all didn't. I seem to recall Greener stating this "Breech Tube" to be about 9" long but suspect that varied according to exact desired finish contour. The two sections were then sort of "Butt Welded" together.
That joint in the rib will be found on most guns with either a dolls head or top bolt. In these cases a short section of the top rib with the extension is brazed in along with the joining & lug. The remainder of the rib, under-rib etc will then be soft soldered. On guns without a rib extension the entire rib is usually one piece & softsoldered in after the breeches are brazed.
Off hand I can think of no American built gun which used a monoblock, but if someone has knowledge of one I can stand corrected. A few had chopper lumps, but most were conventional or dovetail lump joined.

True, according to Greener: "It is usual to make a gun-barrel in two parts. The breech is made of thicker strips than the muzzle."
Regarding lumps, Greener preferred "a solid steel lump fitting between the barrels, extending upwards to the top rib;" His next choice was a lump forged on the right barrel because it was used more. Greener considered the lump patented by Mr. Parsons of Birmingham(chopper lump) to have a weakness due to the amount of surface area that had to be completely brazed.

Pete, I suspect that the uneven look you refer to may be the result of an error(s)in the etching process (most likely) or due to carding issues. If the uneven look was due to "greys", then I believe that redoing the barrels would not resolve this issue. I will be finishing up a set of Parker GH barrels that very definitely exhibit the "greys" effect. On a section of one of the tubes, the "greys" start abruptly and end abruptly along weld lines. It is a very interesting effect and not all that common, in my experience.
