Picked up an interesting piece today at a local antique store. 20 guage SxS with hammers, marked Remington Arms on both sides of receiver. Has letter from State of Ohio dated 1951 stating that Remington made a very limited run of copies of their 1889 doubles in 20 guage and were distributed to the Game Warden of each of Ohio's 88 counties. This particular one went to the Game Warden in Noble County (SE Ohio). Gun has been fired, but used very little. (98%+) Any of our Remington Gurus ever heard of these little guns? Was this a common thing for the Remington factory to do? I bought it for the "Interesting Factor", but wow is it a nice tight little unit. Any suggestions on a place to start for more research?
