Lot 519:
Remington Model 1894 Hammerless Side-by-Side Shotgun 12 Gauge with 30 Inch Damascus Barrels
Description
This Remington Model 1894 hammerless side-by-side double-barrel shotgun is chambered in 12 gauge and features 30-inch Damascus-pattern barrels. The firearm is built on a box-lock action with a double-trigger configuration and a tang-mounted sliding safety marked SAFE. The furniture consists of a checkered walnut pistol-grip stock and a matching checkered walnut forend. The buttplate is constructed of a dark hard rubber composite and features a stylized RACO monogram. Key markings include the manufacturer name REMINGTON ARMS CO. stamped on both the left and right sides of the receiver, and the top rib is marked REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y. U.S.A. The serial number 129951 is clearly stamped on the water table and the underside of the barrel lug. Metal surfaces exhibit the characteristic swirling pattern of Damascus steel barrels, while the receiver shows traces of its original finish alongside areas of thinning, surface oxidation, and honest wear. The walnut stock remains structurally sound with scattered nicks, scratches, and a small chip located behind the left side of the receiver. Note – As an antique firearm manufactured circa 1899, this item does not require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The metal surfaces show significant thinning of the finish with a dark patina and scattered areas of surface oxidation and pitting, particularly on the barrels and receiver. The Damascus pattern remains visible along the length of the 30-inch barrels. The bores show moderate frosting and light pitting throughout. The checkered walnut stock and forend show scattered handling marks, scratches, and impressions consistent with field use, with a small chip missing behind the left receiver bolster. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
