Sorry guys. I hope this is the appropriate forum. Look what I found
$200
Remington model 1889
#2 grade
All numbers match
30" barrel
5 digit serial number (1890's production)
Damascus steel
Screws look like they were never touched, no burrs
I'm tickled pink, and I shot it. Probably should have waited til my smith looked at it, but the barrel looked clean very little if any pitting. I know, I know shells were black powder back then blah, blah, blah but why have a gun if you can't shoot it right. I will take it to my gunsmith tomorrow...................promise.

I have lots of shotguns, am a lifetime member of the ATA, and this may be my favorite gun at this point. Would love to see your pics of similar hammer guns.
