Bobby, the 'Book' for 237449 say P2 H 2 C 12 26, meaning Grade 2 Parker Special Steel, Hammerless, Option code 2 (ejectors) 12ga, 26" The box marking of chokes wouldn't be reflected in the info in the serialization book, and whether the box is correct at Imp Cyl, and Imp Cyl wouldn't seem as likely as the gun actually being IC and Imp Mod. The "SPECIAL" is anyone's guess, but as the chokes may have been IC and IC, which might have been a specific request, that might have been the meaning.
I'm only speculating, and was more involved in my deal than the details of the subject gun.
The engraving, as Dean noted, is clearly R Runge, but it is so crisp, it gave me the thought that he may have paid more attention to it than ordinary. All of the birds seemed more lifelike.
