Bruce presents an interesting scenario, but there aren't many examples of 1/2 frame barrel sets being scavenged from junk guns. The engraving looks like a factory upgrade and the barrels are probably factory installations. We need much better pictures to determine whether Remington repair stamps indicate the gun was at Remington for this work. Take closeup, well lighted pictures of the barrel flats and the water table of the frame. There are serial numbers stamped on the barrel flats. This indicates a factory job. My guess is that the gun was sent to the factory for new barrels and upgrading engraving to C or B Grade including B Grade wood. The engraving was probably done by Robert Runge. The frame was probably originally a #1 frame, which is compatible with the Remington era 1/2 frame barrels. The #1 and #1/2 frame pin separation is 1 1/16".

Ron: You might want to order the research letter to see what the surviving factory records indicate. As Dean pointed out, the gun started life as a Grade 2 (G) and along the way had a major face-lift.

If you have the right tools and skills, you could remove the trigger guard screw, lift the tang and rotate counter-clockwise approx 1/8 turn and see if a serial number is under there and if it matches or not. I suspect not, but never say never.

The price of the letter may be worth satisfying "some" of your curiosity. There will likely still be more questions.

Cheers,
Jack

We also need some pictures of the forend and the area where it joins the receiver. Has this gun been converted to automatic ejectors or is it still an extractor gun?
