Those relief cuts look recent.

yes, The barrels say trojan steel. when I stripped it down to clean, all the numbers match.
I was wondering though, did Parker stamp the serial number on the barrel flats for the trojan? |

Remington Arms did in Ilion when they were producing Parkers.

With serial numbers ground off or by any other method removed, it is an illegal firearm.

I agree with Dean. I'd return it to the auction company.

There is a serial number on the shotgun, It's just it's not where it should be and where it should be, it is clearly ground down, Same is true with the barrel lug.
The number is on the barrel flat , not the lug. Where it should be on the lug, it's ground down. |

Does the forearm number match? If it does my guess is that a set of donor barrels were mated to a replacement receiver that used the stock and we don't know about the internal parts, but that would seem like a lot of trouble. If that forearm number was ground off also, then there is something rotten in Denmark.
It is not illegal to move a serial number from one place to another as long as one uses the same serial number. But replacing one shows something is up, as in being stolen previously. But they must have used the stock serial number as the basis for the new numbers. I thought something was fishy with the cut off barrel extension. Calling Sherlock Holmes. |

The number on the forearm is the same. as is the number on the stock.
I've had it apart for cleaning and the parts inside are stamped with the last three digits. A law enforcement friend had suggested , that it might have been stolen and then recovered, which makes sense. |
