The rib on 130593 is stamped "Titanic". Could the gun have had Damascus barrels originally and been refitted with Titanics by Parker? Most 5s and 6s wear Acme barrels.

Fred, Titanics are correct for the 130's. Look at TPS. The Acme's were not until a couple years later.

Jack, I'm with you, this one does not look "right" to me. Though I do agree with Bill that lightly struck or off struck is somewhat common.

Is there a chance that the patent date stamp on the table was only half stamped like that originally? Never seen and end blank in the rib matting that wide either... anyone else?? Seems the back edge of the stock cheeks is a bit too sharp and prominent also. And as Bill notes, the screws don't look unmolested by any means. Regardless, it certainly is a stunning gorgeous gun. Maybe these are just Remington era features that I'm clueless about.
Regarding the rib matting.........this GH20 Serial number range 200XXX is very similar. This gun letters to the current 26" bbls. Although the ivory bead has probably been added at a later date. It has the widest gap I have seen to date.

Thanks Kurt. My 1918 GHE12 has an ivory front bead and letters with 26" bbls... which have been cut. That's a large bead. Looks in size like one of Galazans.
