1928 SBT Upgraded?

I bought my SBT, S/N 227591, a couple of years ago. It was made in 1928 and I believe was a grade 5B. It is in 12 Ga with a 32 in barrel. The SBT has been upgraded and there are two Remington repair codes on the barrel, LK3 (Feb 1941 and ANN3 (Mar 1944). The barrel and receiver are beautifully engraved. The barrel engraving extends down the barrel surrounding the left side Parker Bros logo. The receiver engraving is in floral designs, with no bird or gold inlays. The forward and rear stocks have hand checkering, but are also carved with floral leaf designs on all open areas. The receiver still has the color case hardening showing nicely. This SBT appears to be a very well kept working Trap Gun. My question is: were the modifications performed at the Remington factory, or somewhere else.

Thanks for your help,

Yes, pics, I need to put some together.

Thanks,

Some Pics, more to come.

With just the Remington service codes and without a PGCA Research Letter we can only presume that the carving in the wood and the elaborate engraving are aftermarket upgrades or embellishments... but they are exceptionally well done! That is a very interesting SB.

Wow. What a nice SB. I would buy that gun.
