I added a pic of my barrel Flats, it's on P2 of this thread, Thanks to everyone who has rersponded.

You have a 1-1/2 frame size too I believe.
|
AD indicates a manufacturing date of March/1935
The other codes to the left of that core are service or repair dates as indicated by the 3. . |
AD A = March D = 1935
RD3 R = November D = 1935 3 = repair XE3 X = December E = 1936 3 = repair Unfortunately, no records of what repair was done survive. Interesting that the gun has PARKER on the bottom of the frame and a Remington date code on the barrel flat but has the PARKER BROS. rather than PARKER GUN WORKS - OVERLOAD PROVED stamp. |
Either of the two repair dates could have been when the forend wood was replaced.

What a gun.
|
Appears to have a minor wood repair on the left side but a stunning gun.
