From surviving hang-tags we know the standard load they used to target 12-gauge guns was 1 1/4 ounces of #8 going 511 pellets to the load. If the number is three digits, that is the count, if the number is two digits a leading 3 is implied. stamped the actual pellet counts of their test patterns on the rear barrel lug of their Model 1889 hammer doubles and their Model 18 hammerless doubles. A picture of their salesman's sample of the various styles of Damascus available is shown on page 275 of Semmer's book. Remington supplied a number of different pattern Damascus barrels on these old doubles.
