I wonder if it was originally ordered by and shipped to Kerr's?
The checkering, although AH patterned on an original Remington/Parker DH stock, looks to be factory checkered. The engraving has me stymied though.... there's nothing about the engraving that resembles any known Parker Bros. or Remington's Runge style of engraving. It may have been ordered especially like that... but we'll never know - Remington didn't record that information.
We shouldn't be surprised at any unusual features on Parkers produced late in the Remington Arms tenure... Case in point - Russ Jackson's late Remington CHE 20.
