Description:
The Remington Model 1889 Double Barreled shotgun was the last external hammer shotgun they would produce, and was really the last of the great side hammer shotguns. For most of the 19th Century, Shotguns had not been a big market for American gun makers, due to the well-developed import trade coming out of England. However, in 1883, U.S. Congress imposed a 35% on imported firearms, and the American arms industry was quick to respond. Remington was America's oldest gunmaker, and had in fact been making top-break double shotguns since 1874, so they were already in production at this watershed moment, and quickly produced a number of different models. The Model 1889 is the endpoint in the evolution of these Remington hammer guns. Like all the others, it was extremely well made and finished, but there is a sleekness about it that the others can't quite match. And its low-profile hammers with their nearly circular necks are distinctive. The Model 1889 came at a watershed in company history. E. Remington & Sons went bankrupt in 1888, and when the New Model 1889 appeared, it was under the style Remington Arms Company. It was the last of the hammer guns, superseded by a series of hammerless breechloaders beginning with the Model 1894. But the handsome old thing didn't go quietly; it remained popular enough that the company kept building it till 1908. That makes the Model 1889 one of the last high-quality hammer guns made in this country. This gun has two side Hammer gun locks, each marked REMINGTON ARMS CO. on the lock plate. It is also marked REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION N.Y. U.S.A. on the center strap between the barrels. It has a dark brown checkered Butt plate with the R.A. script monogram. This shotgun is overall in very nice condition, good markings under the barrel, including Serial number 237356, which is also marked on the receiver, barrel latch, and on both the metal and wood components of the forestock. Condition is quite nice, with a nice finish on the metal and wood. The barrels have exterior wear, showing their age and oxidation. Wood is in good shape, with good grain, and a good amount of checkering still on the foregrip. The barrels are in good condition, with some wear and powder fowling near the chambers, but are mostly clean. None
