Remington Models 1894 and 1900 -- are essentially the same except for levels of workmanship and the forearm fastening. They were both built in the same patents No. 528,507 and No. 528,508 both granted Oct 30, 1894. No. 528,507 was granted to Rimmon C. Fay and No. 528,508 to Rimmon C. Fay and George E. Humphreys. Both were assigned to Remington Arms Company of Ilion, NY. Changes over time apply to both the Model 1894 and 1900. Early guns had flat ribs, firing pins integral with the hammers (Remington calls them hammers), and a safety slide raised in the middle. Later guns had concave ribs, separate firing pins, and a safety slide dished in the middle. Also the sear pin was moved a bit forward in the frame. The Remington Catalogues of the period show a cutaway, and have illustrated parts lists. Up through 1906 the parts lists and cutaways show the firing pins integral with the hammers, while my 1908-9 Remington catalogue shows the separate firing pins.
The Model 1900 was also called the K-Grade. The K-grade had Remington Steel barrels and plain extractors. With ejectors it was known as the KE-Grade. If a Model 1900 had Damascus barrels it was known as either the KD-Grade or the KED-Grade.
List prices from the 1908-9 Remington catalogue were: K-Grade $30, KE-Grade $35, KD-Grade $35, and KED-Grade $40. In the 1908 Sears catalogue the K-Grade could be had for $25, and that was the price often quoted in magazine ads.
