Nothing with the condition would deter me ,I would trade my left pill for it !

Considering how rare that Remington is and how good a gun it is, go for it, lock, stock and barrel.

There is more than 3 E grade Remington model 1894 doubles in 16ga. I know of 5 counting this 16ga. I bet there is more but no many. Terry

Including this one I was only aware of 4 E grade 16's.

Anyone aware of a E grade two barrel set in any gauge? E grade non pistol grip?

Speaking of, didn't he point out that the pin was moved closer to the corner of the action on the 1894 Remington to improve its lock time and to stay competitive with Ithaca when they brought out their Emil Flues action with its lightning fast locks?

Chambers said many things.
I was referring to his views on the collectible gun market participants.

I sold (for a friend) an EE Damascus in 12 ga. maybe 7-8 years ago. Charles Semmer was pretty sure it was Loy engraved. He said this gun was the 38th known to exist. I think the settled price was $11,500. The condition was significantly better than this one but I think the market would assign a substantially higher price if it were a 16.

My rather hit and miss notes show --

EEO 121097 as a 12-gauge two-barrel set

EEO 116019 straight grip
EEO P132270 straight grip
EEO P136154 straight grip

In The Double Gun Journal, Volume Thirteen, Issue 3, page 59, Charles Semmer had an article on EEO 16-gauge 112429, in which he states "..of the known 32 EE guns, only four of them were built in 16-gauge. This one and one other have Ordnance Steel barrels, the other two are Damascus barreled." My notes show the other Ordnance barrel 16-gauge to be 110475, page 190 in Charles' book. One of the Damascus barrel 16-gauge EE-Grades is the late Andy Anderson's "Benjamen Torres gun" that just sold at Julias. Charles did an article on it in The Double Gun Journal, Volume Nine, Issue 2, Page 35.

I had it in my mind that the fourth E-quality 16-gauge was the Clyde B. Wells (Remington professional shooter) gun, 120142, but now checking my notes they say 12-gauge?!? So, what is the other known EE-Grade 16-gauge?

Thanks Researcher.

I traded for a 16GA EEO about 40 years ago with Thad Scott. When it arrived I looked down the barrels and they looked like a corduroy road. I thought about it and sent it back to Scott. I have regretted it ever-since. It is the one in Semmers book. The next time I saw it was at the Butterfield Auction in San Francisco where it sold for I think $10,000.

I have an extra set of 12 GA EEO barrels I bought from Chadick's about 30 years ago. Charlie put me in touch with the owner of the gun the barrels came from a few years ago and I offered to sell him the barrels for a reasonable sum but he was not interested and I have not heard from him since. These were Krupp barrels by the way. I have since mated these barrels to a CE action and forend and they fit perfectly with no fitting required. I lucked out there as I did not want to modify them in any way.
