First off, I have no idea how to differentiate between the two models, but this is what I have....
Remington SxS boxlock
straight grip stock
moderate engraving on each side with game scenes
vent rib with a red front sight
steel barrels
SN: 3XXXXX
4652
What is it? What grade is it? Is it original? Is it rare? Is it common? Thanks.

If it has a 'pull-off' fore-end it is a 1900; if it has a 'Deely latch' on the fore-end it is an 1894...Geo

Rem 1894's have a six digit serial number starting with 1 and 1900's are six digits starting with 3.
Of course, as George mentions, there is the fore-end latch type difference as well.

Mine starts with a 3 donor must be a 1900 then. I was told on another forum that 1900s weren't engraved. Why is mine?

If it's a 1900 then most likely someone had it engraved. Post a pic of the gun.

Model 1900's weren't offered/shipped with a vent rib barrels either; what you have is an after-market "upgrade". Without pics there's no way we can judge the quality of the non-factory work, nor how much work was done.

Researcher will probably chime in on this. Remingtons seem to be up his alley and he has helped me a lot with mine. Not to distract from this thread but does anyone out there happen to have an extra fore end "j" hook for my Model 1900 Remington?
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.
