Oddly the comb on that gun looks almost exactly like an original Parker Bros. 'trap comb'.
Makes me wonder if it hasn't simply been recheckered and a pad replacement in the 30's 40's or 50's.
But then it has the wrong escucheon and the cheeks aren't contoured correctly.
And I will add that the checkering on the grip looks very much like Remington era checkering but there is no Remington code on the barrel flats.
