The Model 1889 shotguns were introduced in 1889 and were discontinued in 1908. Remington indicates that approximately 135,000 were manufactured in Grades 1 through 7. This Grade 1 example has blued steel barrels with single steel bead front sight on the matted solid rib which is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION N.Y. U.S.A.", 2 7/8 inch chambers with single extractor, and chokes measured at full/full. The receiver, locks, and hammers are casehardened. The locks are both marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO." in block letters. Double triggers and rebounding hammers. Multi-point checkered, walnut forend with Deeley style latch and round knob pistol grip stock with hard rubber Remington buttplate. Stock measurements: 1 7/8 inch drop at comb; 3 inch drop at heel; 14 3/8 inch length of pull; weight 9 lbs 11 oz.

Very fine as professionally refinished, retaining 98% blue finish and 90% plus casehardening with some light handling evidence, and a few subsurface blemishes on the barrels. The wood is very good with some scattered scratches, a few pressure marks, minor varnish flaking, a chip behind the right hammer, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
