The Model 1889 shotgun was the first shotgun made by Remington Arms Company, successor to E. Remington & Sons. It was essentially a redesign of E. Remington & Sonsa€? M1887 double gun. Factory records indicate that 38 Model 1889 shotguns were shipped in late 1888, with full production achieved by 1889, when an additional 2,237 guns were shipped. The features that distinguish the M1889 shotgun from its predecessors are its a€?circulara€? shaped hammers.
They were made in three gauges: 10 ga., 12 ga. and 16 ga. And in 1889 the shotguns sold for $30?o?o to $100?o?o, depending on finish and type of barrels ordered. Grades 4 through 7 were made to order only.
In the 1889 Remington catalogue the Model 1889 shotgun was offered in seven grades:
Grade 1 - Decarbonized steel barrels - $30.00
Grade 2 - Fine twist barrels - $35.00
Grade 3 - Damascus steel barrels - $40.00
Grade 4 - Better quality Damascus steel barrels, engraved, curly walnut stock - $60.00
Grade 5 - Damascus steel barrels, extra engraving, selected curly walnut stock - $70.00
Grade 6 - Extra fine quality Damascus steel barrels, scroll engraving, fine selected curly walnut stock - $80.00
Grade 7 - Superior quality Damascus steel barrels, extra fine scroll engraving, elegant curly walnut stock - $100.00
The Remington Arms Company eventually shipped 134,200 Model 1889 outside-hammer, double guns in a twenty-year period of manufacture between 1888 and 1908.
