That scalloped grip and that ebony inlay is found on some higher grade Remington Whitmore doubles, but I've never seen that carving at the back of the grip and into the stock before. That is a beautiful grip!

Mike, post this picture over on the Remington Society of Amaerica web site under pre-1898 rifles. That should wake the rolling block boys up!
