From the very beginning the lowest grade Remington Arms Co., Model 1889, Hammer Double Barrel Shotgun, the No. 1 was barreled with "decarbonized steel barrels", as were the lowest grade of several of the previous E. Remington & Sons hammer doubles.
I've always wondered if there is/was any difference between the "decarbonized steel" barrels of the Remington Hammer Doubles, and the "Remington Steel" barrels of the lower grades of the Remington Hammerless Doubles.
