I know it's a bad pic but it's all I have, anyone care to guess the model and grade?

Can't see the engraving.  Best guess Model 1894 DE Grade.

Here is another picture of the gun. What do you figure it's worth? It's a 10 gauge I believe.

Looks suspiciously like a C Grade, well I don't know squat about Remington doubles.  I think the guy that wrote "Green Book" on Remi Doubles is member of this board. It's time for me to skeedadle off this thread.

It is a "C" grade, with some interesting checkered side panels, a straight grip, and steel barrels. It doesn't look like a 10 to me.... but if original, I'd say pretty rare. Customers got the guns that they ordered.

That is a CO-/CEO-Grade Remington Hammerless Double, but that doesn't look like an original Remington stock. If ir is a 10-gauge, they are rather scarce. Only one I've seen before Ben Loving had for sale some years ago, and it was restocked. I don't have a good pic of a straight grip CEO-Grade, but here is one with a half-pistol grip --

My straight gripped CEO 12ga at the top. IMHO straight grips on Remingtons meant trap guns. Both of my F grade trap guns have straight grips. Ross

The "F.E. Trap" Grade was by definition a straight grip gun as was the "C.E.O. Trap" Grade. In the 1902 Remington Arms Co. catalogue that lists the "Pigeon Gun" they are also shown and described as having a straight grip. However, all the grades of Remington Hammerless Doubles from A- thru EEO- and the Special could be had with a straight grip at one time or another. While the text for the "A" and "B" grades only said "half or full pistol grip" the late Remington Arms Co. catalogues pictured the AO-/AEO- and the BO-/BEO-Grades with a straight grip?!? Now, just for the sake of argument, what is up with this "F.E. Trap" Grade from Cabela's??? Mighty nice trigger guard. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/conten...erarchyId=11657

Thats a pretty early number for a F grade. Must be a guard off of an earlier gun? I havent seen a F with checkering behind the receiver either. Is that a scratch or crack on the left side thru the checkering.
It just occurred to my lightning fast brain that the stock is not straight. Maybe somebody used a stock from a pg gun and found a triggerguard off of a dreaded high grade but damascus gun? Damascus is dangerous you know.
