Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 1889 is a significant and iconic shotgun that holds a place in the history of American firearms. Manufactured by Remington Arms Company between 1889 and 1908, this double-barrel shotgun was designed to cater to the growing demand for high-quality hunting firearms during the late 19th century. The 1889 model was unique for its external hammer design, which was a hallmark of shotguns from this period, and it was available in multiple gauges, including 10, 12, and 16. One of the most appealing aspects of the Remington 1889 was the variety of grades available. The base models were crafted with decarbonized steel barrels, offering durability, but the higher-grade models were constructed with Damascus steel, known for its beautiful swirling patterns and strength. The higher-end models also included finely detailed engraving, which could include elaborate floral or game scenes, enhancing the gun's visual appeal. The stocks were crafted from high-quality walnut, with the Grade 7 models featuring the highly sought-after "curly" or "tiger-stripe" walnut, making the shotgun not just a functional tool but also a work of art.
While the Remington Model 1889 was initially designed for sporting use, particularly hunting, its reliable design and rugged construction made it a favorite among professionals, law enforcement, and military units as well. The shotgun was considered an advancement in the design of shotguns, combining both practicality and elegance, and its reputation for precision and performance continues to earn it a place of admiration among collectors and historians.
