Manufactured between 1883 to 1907, this example has a barrel marked with "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION.N.Y.U.S.A." on top and "32 IDEAL 9521 32 IDEAL 2035" on the bottom flat. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the lower tang. The Hepburn patent information is on the left side of the receiver at the bottom. The front sight dovetail is empty, and a rear sight with two folding leaves is mounted in the rear sight dovetail. Additional dovetails have been added for the mounts for the 32 1/2 inch long adjustable scope. It is fitted with a walnut forearm that is numbered to the gun and has an ebony insert on the Schnabel tip and a semi-pistol grip stock with checkering on the grip and a crescent metal buttplate.

Good. The finish on the barrel has mostly thinned to form a brown patina. The receiver has some fade case colors and mostly a mottled gray patina. The buttplate has a brown patina. The wood is fair with flat checkering that remains mostly sharp, some minor dings and pressure marks, light scratches and a small amount of chipping at the junctions with the receiver. Mechanically fine with mostly clear markings. The scope has a golden patina on the exterior with some streaks of finish and darker patina. The optics are fairly clear but have a spot in one corner and a scratch or hair.
