That is a Jostam Hy-Gun on the gun pictured in the 1939 catalogue. The Remington Model 31TC and 32TC are shown in the same catalogue with the Hawkins pad, and the Parker double trap has a Silvers (or Silvers style) pad. So, I'd imagine that Remington would put whatever pad the customer requested on a Parker SBT. By the time of the gun in question, even a Fray-Mershon "whiteline" would be quite reasonable.

It is a little unlikely that a 242,000 range SC would need a full Del Grego restoration and restock. I am thinking that this gun was finished from parts by Del Grego, probably in the fifties or sixties. As such, it would be a real piece of Remington Parker history and no less collectable than an SC finished at the factory.

"Looking it over" will result in an opinion that it is probably a 70s Del Grego refinish and probably restock. Of course, a gun built from scratch at the Del Grego shop would look the same. Since Del Grego does not file their repairs by serial number, the mystery may go unsolved.

Original or redone the gun doesn't appear to have been used very much.

George - how does one tell what kind of condition a gun was in prior to restoration? Just curious.

PPat - gorgeous looking gun. Looks like it's ready for business.

I don't know from whence the gun sprang, but there's no reason why the gun wouldn't have needed a restoration by DelGrego even in the 1960's. By then it was 15+ years old, minimum, and a lot can happen in that time to a gun that is in use. A restock? Maybe. Don't we always hear how trap shooters are the worst at modifying their stocks? Maybe the original was a mess by 1960.

An avid trapshooter, or even a careless user, could easily 'wear out' a gun in 15 years.

Pat, The marks you describe are commonly found on late Remington/Parkers. We are not sure of the meaning. Inspectors marks I would assume.
