I am looking at a SBT which the owner is touting as unfired. However, I have never seen one with this engraving and the gold inlay. Any comments as to originality?

Could be as described... We don't know the serial number but it could be a Remington era Parker and the case colors are cyanide for certain and that's consistent with a Remington Parker. It could be original but the gold embellishments would not show up on a Remington IBM card so that might be the biggest question about the gun.
Except for the gold the engraving appears consistent with that of a SC.

It appears then that it may have gone back to Remington for a refinish and possibly the gold embellishment. Are there Remington date codes on the barrel flats?

No there would not. However, look for the codes on the barrel flats. It should be a series of two or three letters followed by a number, probably 2 or 3. A letter may tell you the original configuration.
