Wonderful example of just how unique each of these high grade Remington Hammerless Doubles are. The first DE-Grade Charles shows in his book is 100154.
In the first Remington Arms Co. catalog to show the Remington Hammerless Double, October 1894, ejectors were a quite expensive option, $22.50 extra on guns that listed from $45 to $225 with extractors, $67.50 to $247.50 with ejectors!! Between the November 1895 catalog and the April 1897 catalog the premium for ejectors dropped to $5, with ejector guns now listing for $50 to $230. Prices stayed the same into the 1908 catalog. In the 1908-09 and 1909 Remington Arms Co. catalogs the price of D-quality guns went up $10 and the price of C-quality guns went up $30, but the premium for ejectors remained $5 across the board, a lot cheaper then Parker Bros., Lefever Arms Co., L.C. Smith and A.H. Fox ejectors.
