There aren't any Remington repair codes.
I used a loop and there is no sign of polishing on the frame. The engraving is sharp and crisp which is one of the reason I wondered about the case color being original. I agree the frame looks a little to good for the rest of the gun which is why I suspect it has been re-cased by someone that knows their craft. I doesn't look like cyanide or I would have suspect Delgregos. I've not seen Turnbulls work on a Parker other than photos but I've seen plenty of other guns and it doesn't feel Turnbull to me.
I didn't snap a photo of the right side of the butt. The grain is pretty straight. I may ask if I can carefully pull the trigger guard to check the wood for a serial number. Of course I would understand being told no. I didn't measure the wood but the pull and drop was pretty good for me so I'm guessing 14 to maybe 14 1/2 inch length of pull and 1 1/2 ish in. to maybe 2 1/2 in. drop at cheek and heel.
So anyone have a feeling on what a fair price for a well done re-worked DHE 16 gauge should be? I'm on a bit of beer budget so I might have to let go of a few guns out of the safe to fund this one.
