Barrel Markings and Weep Hole help

[Dean Romig]

The smaller and more lightly stamped WK3 looks to be a Remington date code but I don't have any idea what the XSS3 indicates.

The weep hole is correct for a later Remington Parker... not so sure about it being correct for a 236XXX parker though as that was made in eriden the way they had always been done. It seems more likely that it had been sent to Remington later in its youth for barrel and reblueing work, hence the date code which would most likely not have been done in Meriden.
