That, I believe is a set of barrels that were begun under Parker Bros. ownership in Meriden CT (hence the blank circle) bet the gun was finished under Remington ownership in Illion NY (hence the Remington starburst) Remington dropped the various names of barrel steel and I suspect the legend on the top rib, if there is even a legend, will not include the name of a barrel steel.
