COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present an ultra-rare, museum-tier piece of early American semi-automatic rifle history: an original 1910 Remington Model 8E "Expert" grade auto-loading rifle chambered in the classic .35 Remington caliber. Manufactured in 1910 as confirmed by serial number 19609 stamped on the receiver and lower tang, this rifle represents John Browning's iconic long-recoil design built as a premier factory "E" Grade variant. As part of Remington's elite Expert series, this firearm was meticulously hand-crafted and fitted at the factory, exhibiting high-level factory scroll engraving across approximately 50% of the receiver, trigger guard, and breech end of the 22-inch barrel. While unsigned upon close inspection, the master-level engraving displays all the distinct artistic hallmarks, refined execution, and period-correct grade characteristics indicative of legendary Remington Factory Master Engraver Joseph Loy, who was executing Remington's finest top-tier custom pieces during this exact era. Highlights include a detailed left-side game scene panel depicting a grizzly bear in the crosshairs of an aiming hunter set against a timbered forest backdrop.
Stocked in magnificent, highly figured American black walnut, this Model 8E features a hand-checkered splinter forend and a round-knob pistol grip buttstock completed with an original Remington checkered hard rubber buttplate and an unengraved silver oval inscription plate set into the toeline. The sighting arrangement consists of a raised dovetail bead front sight, an elevator-adjustable sporting rear sight mounted on the barrel, and a period tang sight fitted at the rear of the receiver. Lower barrel and forend sling swivels are present, and the rifle retains matching serial numbers on major hand-fitted components.
The overall cosmetic condition of this scarce factory engraved Remington Model 8E remains in very fine original condition, with metal surfaces retaining 85-90% of their original factory blued finish showing light, honest thinning at the receiver, scattered handling marks, and crisp engraving cuts throughout. The highly figured American black walnut stocks have been lightly refreshed with a hand-rubbed oil finish; the head of the buttstock shows small, minor chip losses along both sides of the lower tang at the receiver interface alongside a historic 5-inch repaired crack extending rearward from the lower tang. Mechanically, the recoil-operated action functions with crisp, hand-fitted precision, while the 22-inch barrel preserves a bright, shiny bore with sharp, well-defined rifling lines throughout.
