My December 1940 VHE and most all of the Remington Parkers I've saved pictures of have dark stippling between the double lines.

The detail in the “heavy” sections of the letters is missing. Production guns in a production setting made by humans. Every one is different.

Or maybe it was buffed and only the deeper border lines remain.
Definitely buffed. Look at the buffed out graver walk around the right screw on the floorplate and what looks like the remains of rust pitting elsewhere. .

Those mistakes/errors would be barely be noticeable when the gun is new with its brilliant case colors.

I do not think the gun was buffed. Or at least that is not the explanation for the lack of detail on the lettering. It simply was never there.

Sorry Brian, I disagree. Enlarge the photo and closely examine the semi-obliterated ‘graver walk’ border engraving in places and the remains of rust pitting.
