I recently purchased the above because of condition. Not being a hammer gun fan and being unable to register on the Remington site, I'll pose my question here.
From what I can find, it's a grade 1 with decarbonized steel barrels, 30" with 90% bluing (original). There are two blood spots on the left tube that have pitted the tube which I have cleaned up and cold blued the spots to avoid further pitting. The bores are near mirror with no pitting and the tubes ring like chimes. The gun is on face with no play. The case color is bright on the locks and still apparent on the belly of the frame and tang. All screws are untouched with the exception of the firing pin screws which are buggered. All checkering is sharp, with one dent in the pistol grip area---otherwise the finish has normal wear. All numbers match (2569) including screws, and appears to be a first year gun. Not having a reliable chamber gauge it probably is a 2-5/8" gun. Hammer springs are strong.
I've consulted the Blue Book, and the condition of this gun is higher than the highest valuation stated, so I'm at a loss as to value. Can anyone give me a fair market value?

If you just purchased it, that is the value -- an arms length transaction between a motivated seller and a satisfied buyer.

Researcher,
I'm not exactly a novice when it comes to collecting and appraising a certain make of vintage doubles, and limit myself in offering opinions of value to those guns that I am familiar with. Having said that, I find your response to be unnecessary and somewhat offensive. As I said in my inquiry I'm totally unfamiliar with this type of gun and was hoping for a response from someone who is.

I many instances I have to disagree with this statement. I have purchased many sxs at auctions in western Canada where either the bidding audience had no idea what the gun was or was worth and in other instances where no one was really interested and I practically stole the guns. For instance, since it is public record, I purchased a MacNaughton skeleton action for 1500 CAD and in its condition was worth well over 15,000USD. In another instance I bought an Ithaca 4E for 350CAD in a gun shop where the consigner and consignor had no idea a what they had. And I can produce many other examples although not quite so profound.

One always hopes to find a great deal where they can turn around and make a profit. Isn't that what gun shows are all about?

I doubt anyone will venture a specific opinion without a full set of pictures, including me. The issue is condition. The OP describes the gun as being in high condition, but that may merely mean high "Mechanical Condition", not the "Original Condition" of the finishes which would determine approximate value. This is also a Field Grade gun with steel barrels. True, the E Remington guns are more scarce than the later Remington Arms ones, but it's a matter of remaining original finishes. The gun could be anywhere from a few hundred dollars and up.

Please post some pictures, but I wouldn't count on having found a "Gold Mine".
