Marcellus Hartley Dodge saw where the money was to be made with his John M. Browning designed autoloading shotgun (introduced in 1905) and his John D. Pedersen designed repeating shotgun (introduced in 1908), and exited the double gun market in early 1910. Remington Arms Co.'s production of 134200 Model 1889 hammer doubles, 41194 A- to EEO-Grade hammerless doubles and 98508 K- to KED-Grade hammerless doubles over barely sixteen years, is about 30000 more doubles then the Brothers P produced from 1866 to 1945. Still, probably only a fraction of what flowed out of H & D Folsom Arms Co.'s factory in Norwich, Conn. (aka Crescent Fire Arms Co.).
Fortunately, even though they left the market 106 years ago, there are still some pretty nice Remington Hammerless Doubles out there for us to enjoy, like this one from the upcoming Julia's auction --
