Identification

[James Palmer]

I am looking at a SBT which the owner is touting as unfired. However, I have never seen one with this engraving and the gold inlay. Any comments as to originality?

If its unfired why was it taken apart! Looks messed with to me !

[Dean Romig]

Could be as described... We don't know the serial number but it could be a Remington era Parker and the case colors are cyanide for certain and that's consistent with a Remington Parker. It could be original but the gold embellishments would not show up on a Remington IBM card so that might be the biggest question about the gun.
Except for the gold the engraving appears consistent with that of a SC.

Serial number puts the gun about 1918

[Dean Romig]

It appears then that it may have gone back to Remington for a refinish and possibly the gold embellishment. Are there Remington date codes on the barrel flats?

[James Palmer]

I not have the h gun in font me but should be able to check tomorrow.

Would there be records of something like that?

[Bill Murphy]

No there would not. However, look for the codes on the barrel flats. It should be a series of two or three letters followed by a number, probably 2 or 3. A letter may tell you the original configuration.
