The 1894 had some of the nicest case colors of any American made double. I had a BE grade with some of the nicest colors on any gun I ever owned. The blues were so subtle but vibrant at the same time. Hard to describe. Kind off like oil and water colors mixed in the same painting. I am not a big fan of the stock cracking but it is an easy repair if caught soon enough. The 1900's I have seen have mostly been driven hard and put up wet. Different group of owners and they mostly seemed to have been used much harder. Quality they were a lesser well made gun but still a very solid gun. Price point is a fair description.
