It is an 1894... the only thing that has me wondering is if it is a trap gun? The rib seems high and kind of wide compared to the one in my hands right now. Could it possibly be a 10Ga?

My hesitation on trap gun is they were probably more decorated. I do not believe I have ever actually seen a trap grade so that is a WAG.

Looks just like my 1894. Mine has Damascus barrels in 12 gauge. Bear

It's a model 1900 this one was made in 1901. They were mechanically the same as the 1894 but no engraving and the forend attaches with the spring instead of the button release. They are good reliable guns if in good condition.

Frank is spot on. That is a model 1900. The serial numbers on 1900's start at 3,000 while 1894's start at 1,000.

It was the F grade with some scroll engraving on the receiver. They also made a handful of higher grades with more elaborate engraving as trap models.

That brings back memories. I found a 1894 Remington in 10 gauge in a nearby pawn shop many years ago. I had been reading Double Gun Journal magazines and always wanted a double barrel shotgun. The wife had a Dan LeFever 20 that belonged to her father. Her brother had carried it duck hunting years earlier in a nearby cypress brake; shot at some ducks and blown up the barrels. Dirt daubers had plugged up both barrels and he failed to check it beforehand. I was always on the lookout for barrels to fix it.
Anyway, I handled the gun and we agreed on a price of $200. I was to return the next day after going to the bank to make the purchase. When I returned, he renigged on the deal. Made me furious. Man’s word is supposed to count for something. To make it worse, his son had married my wife’s niece and they lived next door; not like we were total strangers. Never felt the same towards Butch again. I still don’t own a double barrel.
