Actually there are more pictures that were on the internet of this gun, the Remington on another thread and a Parker. They were on Ebay in Live Auctions for a while until the ebay police found them. I watched on live auctions, when they got to the their lot # they they took a break while they auctioned them.

How about that, more pictures!

Here are the bars over the fences, any other idea's or are they to rest the gun upside down?

More pics.

Neat gun. I wish I had known about it.

That stock looks original. It looks like it has a Holland-style hand.

How were the bbls walls? Thick? What was it proofed at?

I really wonder if the 3" chambers were original - but you never know. Was it a real heavy gun?

Weren't long chambered guns marked 12 over an LC?

I'm not sure - I would have to look it up.

Do you know why it wouldn't cock? Did you have the locks off of it?

Looks like I was wrong about the chamber.

Prior to 1925, the 12/c mark meant 12g with 3" chambers (or up to, I'm not sure).

So perhaps they were original. What size load was the gun proofed for? And was it nitroed? It is pre nitro, but it may have been done.

OWD

No other marks than what I said, didn't get to weigh it.

I mentioned the wall thickness in my other thread about wall thickness, it's about this gun.

I have to say I was only able to estimate wall thickness by measuring the barrel's OD and subrtracting the ID, then x.5.

The breech walls were very thick, the gun was actually listed at the auction house as a 10ga.

I came away with still plenty of thickness. Was not allowed to pull the locks.

At the time this gun was built 12C was good for up to 3", anything longer was marked 12L.

What did the remington bring?

I was told it actually brought about $1200 after commission and tax.

I called Ann at ButterScotch this morning. She told me that LOT Number 431 sold for $10,000.00 and that Lot Number 432 sold for $850.00. I failed to ask what the TOTAL price was with FEES and TAXES added in. An earlier poster mentioned adding 25% to the bid price to account for the FEES and TAX, that seemed to be a very high % compared to what I am use to seeing. IF the Remington SXS 10 Gauge was an authentic gun and undamaged other than the rust on the muzzle that was a bargain and maybe even a steal !!! Did anyone here examine these guns in person ??? What was the condition of the Remington 10 Gauge ??? Thank You, Jent

Okay I got two conflicting reports on the Remington, I was told $850 then $950 but $850 seems right.

The auction commission was 17.5% and tax runs 7.375%, 24.875% total.

I saw the gun, see the thread called "Name this Rem." It looked to me to be a restock and not well done, but I don't have much experience with Remingtons. And it was a 12ga., the bores were pitted but hadn't been honed.
