Default DHE double trap

I am a little puzzled by this one and I am looking for opinions from Everyone. This gun is a DHE, 32", Vent rib, Beaver tail, Single trigger, Monte Carlo stocked gun.
Serial number is 24230x. I believe the case colors, finish on the stock and barrels to be original. I have no idea what the Barrel flat markings represent. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks, Brett

It is hard to see the letters RKS on the corner of the barrel flat by the ejector in my photo.

Side of stock and but pad.
Could this have been a Larry Del Grego & Son built gun?

My opinion is that Del Grego upgraded the gun. Does it letter? Nice looking gun.

Can guns letter that are higher serial numbered than the serialization guide goes to?

I don't know, but you can go to the home page and click on research letters and enter the serial number and find out if records are available.

I’d say definitely a Del Grego redo but probably not an upgrade. Probably restocked. What’s she choked?
