I think the answer has been found. For the Action. The listing has been updated today with EH 25, and Empire action looks like there was a weak lower part of the E made it look like an F.

The Remington era Parker specification sheets call for a 2 3/4-inch chamber, in the 10-gauge, intended for 2 7/8-inch shells. Did the British follow the short chamber practices of some of our U.S. manufacturers?

It wasn’t just the lean years, W W Greener were building Anson and Deeley guns (under licence) before they developed the Facile Princeps to get round the royalty payments. They continued to build A&D side by side with the FP throughout their production history. This A&D was a 30 Guinea non-ejector from 1878 and must have been one of their earliest A&D guns. Thanks for the additional photos of the action. Your very nice gun is clearly built on an Empire action as it does not have the pronounced cocking dogs of the A&D. If Remington were then loading 2 3/4” 10 bore it could well have been built for an American customer.

now it's my turn to be surprised, as i was not aware that empires were built as 10 gauge guns....hence my comment that while it looked like an empire - that was unlikely to be the case.
any additional information coming to light would be of interest.
best regards,

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but is there a crack in the fore end iron? Left side, down low about even with the bottom of the hinge pin? Seems unlikely but looks like a crack.

You have better eyes than me, I don’t see that, will you post a pic showing what you are talking about? Then I can ask the Auctioneer for a close up of that area. Or are you speaking about the picture posted with no green background? I see that one clearly.

Whew ok… thought you saw something I missed..The gun on white background is not the one in question. Have a look back through the thread and check the links to view pics of the Gun I posted about originally. It’s in a green background looks like felt I think

Didn't mean to be an alarmist. I was just surfing pretty pictures and my eye locked onto that spot for some reason.
