The highest grade executed by Remington's Engraving Shop, a high grade special order Remington started life from a set of hand-picked and fitted components, receiving an expert touch from the very beginning. The engraving alone could take upward of 40 hours, and the arm would be completed with top-grade hand checkered furniture. Made circa 1907-1929, this Model 10 has been so embellished. Single alloy bead sight on the smooth barrel with the stamped two-line address and 1903/1905 patent dates on top of the barrel in an engraved scroll, "FULL" and "TRADE REMINGTON MARK" hand engraved on the left side of the barrel and operating rod, and a 3 5/8 inch wedge of punch-dot backed scroll engraving on each side of the breech extending from a punch dot and geometric pattern border. The receiver shows over 95% coverage of fine scroll and punch-dot engraving with floral accents on the sides, vine borders on the lower edges, dotted checkerboards at the top and bottom of the sides, cross-shaped border motif at the front, a scene of two hunting dogs in mid-height grass on the left, two quail in a woodland scene on the right, "ACB" on the trigger guard and a pheasant in flight on top. Checkered extra fancy walnut pistol grip stock with arrowhead extensions on the wrist flats, scalloped hard-rubber grip cap, an unmarked gold inscription panel on the underside, and a Jostam recoil pad. Length of pull is 13 7/8 inches, 1 3/8 inch drop at comb, 2 1/8 inch drop at heel and a light cast-off.
Excellent with 95% plus of the original blue finish showing some minor handling marks, bright edge wear and a few areas of brown patina. The engraving is all sharply executed and finely detailed. Stock is fair with a small chip absent from the left side of the forearm near the operating rod, mild cracking at the wrist and a few light dings and scuffs overall. Mechanically excellent.
