On the barrel lug is a “16” w a “1” stamped below.
I’ll try to include pics. I’ve sent in for the letter. I’ll try to post pics. Again, I’m new and trying to figure this out.
Thanks for an awesome website and your time.

Hi Timothy:
PNN3:Remington repair code
HT over A: Speculation is this means heat treated, annealed
3 and 5: Unstruck barrel weight (3 lbs and 5 ounces)
V in circle: this is the grade (V or Vulcan)
16: this is the gauge
1: this is the frame size
Post some pictures of your gun and we can possibly tell you more. Also you may consider purchasing The Parker Story, a wealth of information for your study.
Sincerely:
Randy
