Mr. Shepherd, I don't think you'll find Runge's mark on your gun. I don't believe we've seen such a 'signature' on any guns other than those he upgraded while working on them with DelGrego.

Robert Runge was known to have signed Remington shotguns. We may see his signature on some very late Parkers also.

Thank you for the replies. Another correction - thread title should read BH with ejector / not extractor. This is a true BHE

Consider it done..

Stunning...

Would the bottom of this frame be marked Parker if not when did Remington start that ? I cant see if it is in any of the pictures and to lazzzzzzzzzzy to look it up !

Thanks

There is no Parker Bros engraved on the sides of the frame and I can't make out if the bottom of the frame is engraved Parker. If both are absent the gun falls in the "transition" period of Parker manufacture under Remington ownership. 239065 was made in 1936 - well after Parker Bros. 1934 sale of the Parker Gun Works to Remington Arms Co.

Mr. Shepherd, if you can post a better close-up of the bottom plate engraving perhaps we can spot an engravers initials.
