During the West Virginia Remington writers seminar we were treated to viewing several very high grade limited edition 200th anniversary rifles and shotguns. Other guns will become available such as the R1 pistol.

The image above shows Eliphalet Remington walking the country selling his barrels which is how his company was started.

There will be several grades offered from “C” grade to the very highest grade. These photos are mostly the high grade representations of those guns being offered.The high grade guns will total 2016 of each one. The “C” grade will be laser engraved while the highest grade will be hand engraved and gold inlaid with hand carved stocks featuring various patterns. A few full set of the high grade guns will be auctioned by the NRA to name one example.

Obviously we were not able to shoot these guns but it was a treat just to handle them and admire the work it took to create them.

This graphic provides information on the 200th anniversary guns by model and type.

Prices of the higher grade 200th anniversary guns will be announced very soon. The hand engraving and gold accents is being done by a single master engraver over the past year or more. Seen up close his work is gorgeous! The wood grain is impressive as is the smooth shiny finish. Honestly these remind me of the way many higher quality guns were made many years ago. I believe most readers will appreciate the beauty of these fine guns.

To conclude there will be many other 200th Anniversary products offered such as a 200th Anniversary pocket knife with jig bone scales as well as hunting knives. Many of these 200th Anniversary guns are available for sale now.
