Rare & ENGRAVED Remington Custom Shop Rifle, Model 8 D Grade, .25 Rem Cal (marked 25-35 Rem), MFG. 1909, SN: 13091, Semi-Auto Rifle, 22'' barrel. Although this rifle fires a .25 Rem rimless cartridge, it carries the original early & rarer .25-35 caliber marking. Remington tried to utilize the 25-35 marking to take advantage of the popularity of Winchester's 25-35 caliber. They were quickly forced to change their caliber marking to .25 Rem on later examples, as these rifles would not accept the rimmed 25-35 cartridges. This makes this early caliber marked rifle even rarer beyond it being a factory engraved example. This rifle, invented by John Browning, was America's first successful semi auto high-power rifle. These take down rifles were often broken down into the 22'' & 20'' halves & placed into travel cases for train rides to countryside hunts & shoots. This special order rifle has a straight grip, high grade English walnut stock & forearm. Stocks are excellent, with nice figure to the grain & factory hand checkering at 22 lines-per-inch. There are several minor to small scuffs, scratches & contusions to the very good original finish. The original metal blue finish rates 85% on the receiver, 70% on the barrel, with loss on barrel from both use wear at the carry point & exposure to blood or a chemical which thinned or removed blue in an are in front of the rear sight, The receiver side panels are covered with what Remington marketed as ''rich scroll hand engraving''. Engraving is also found on belly of magazine, safety, trigger guard, tangs & barrel jacket. Bore is very good. Fitted with a Lyman tang sight, rarer two leaf folding rear sight on the desired oval base & W.F. Sheard elongated blade front sight. Stock carries the original checkered Remington plastic buttplate. 5 round fixed magazine. Tight action & functions as it should. A beautiful & rare engraved rifle made even rarer & more collectible due to desirable caliber & early rarer caliber marking. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 4000 to 6000
