WOW! That's a high serial number. Please recheck that.
If the number is actually 241373, then the book lists it as a VHE 20ga with 28" barrels and capped pistol grip. 1938 production. I doubt there will be any specific information about the butt treatment in the records. I might be wrong but I don't think there white line pads in the late thirties.
Ilion made Remington era guns are scarce compared to Parker Bros Meriden made guns. Meriden made guns, including the Remington era, numbered 241 thou +, while Ilion made guns totaled under 1400.
Remington era guns are often found in nice condition but a 90% gun is quite rare indeed!
That would be a hard one to pass on if the price is not stupid high.
Let us know the particulars of the gun.
