Remington 1889

[Havoc_12]

I know this isn't a mil-surp but thought it would be the best place to post this. I was helping my grandmother inlaw move some furniture around and found this in the corner. Excuse the craptastic pics, but it appears to be a Remington 1889. I found a page where the hammer style could be used to identify the model, but there is a surprising lack of info on these on the web. Aside from the age it looks to be in decent shape and no I am not going to shoot it, but I would like to know some more info on it.



She's a big girl, and a really cool piece of history, if anyone can shed some light on it, it would be appreciated!

Don't know anything about them, but you could try doing some research on the Remingtonsociety.com website. Here's one thread to get you started:

Great, Thanks! I was doing some digging yesterday and found a Shotgun forum with a lot of useful information. I'll try and get in contact with Roy and post with my findings.
