The 1889 is a very good and very strong double. I was amazed at the quality of metalwork when I took mine down completely for cleaning.
Good luck with the sales, Mike. If you'd like for me to post pics for you email them to me at stanhillis@gmail.com. I can put them up when I get home this evening.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

The Remington 1889 Hammer shotgun is/was built like a tanks... I know I have three, one Is converted from 12 gauge Damascus barrels to 20 gauge modern steel fully rifled, one is a ten gauge converted to 12 gauge modern steel, and last one is original (fluid) steel softer then modern steel. The bar, bridge,face and flats were all very solidly built. The barrels not so much. I have shot all of them with the appropriate load,ball, slug and shot for the applicable gun with noissues, but all do not exceed pressure levels for the barrel considerations...keep them in good repair and keep shooting....wonderful feeling shotguns.

Stan, Thanks for the photo offer! I'm sending pix to gents that used my email. We are spreading 4 semi loads of chicken poop on the hay fields--nice to take a break and talk shotguns!!
*The 16 gauge 1889 is the most elusive 16 to find in the Remington line.

When I returned from the military in 1969, I visited a local gun store. They had a brand new, mint, 1889 steel barrel ten with a Jostam pad. The story was that it was brought in by a Remington employee. I assume that it came from the museum or the research collection because of the condition. A few years ago, at a local auction, I purchased a brand new, mint, 1882 as I recall. It was missing the buttplate, but no damage to the stock. It has absolutely no markings except a faint rib inscription and a serial number stamped on the inside of the forearm. I suspect like the 1889, it was in a factory collection and appropriated by an employee or sold off by the company. Two brand new hammer guns, almost impossible to believe. The auctioneer didn't know what make the 1882 was because it had no visible markings, so it sold cheap.
