That is what's known as a "transition gun" but yours is kind of early to be lacking Parker Bros. or Parker on the frame. We generally see that on 1933/34 guns.
Perhaps the serial numbered 'barreled action' for some reason, was not completed until during the transition years when Remington and Parker were striking the deal.

I have seen a few like that. A friend owns 236199 a beautiful GHE 16 with loads of condition that has no Parker Bros. or Parker on the exterior of the frame at all but the barrel rib legend is typical for a late Parker Bros. GHE.

Incidentally, I attribute the engraving on 236199 to young Robert Runge.
