This shotgun has the original butt plate with the widows peak although it has been very poorly repaired in the past. The barrels also have a concave rib. After seeing the stamping of the SN in the wood what is your opinion. Does it look factory or non factory. I just posted this over at the Remington Society forum under post 1898.
Also the only other straight grip Remington I own is the CEO 16 GA. It is obviously not factory original as it has an extension added very professionally using a half lap soldered and engraving added that looks very good. I have no idea who would have done this. It also has a silver initial plate inletted into the stock. The inletting is no where near as professional looking at the job done on this 1900.
