Thanks, as I didn't follow that auction; but if I'm not badly mistaken, those 1894's came from the estate of the recently deceased Andy Anderson. And also if I'm not mistaken, Andy's 16-bore EE was the gun featured years ago in the DGJ that had the word "Remington" spelled out within the Damascus pattern for the full length of both tubes. This gun was also in superb condition; so, and given that it is in all likelihood a "One Off", I'm not surprised at the final hammered price tag.
