Congratulations David, you got lucky with the records. The Remington IBM cards just don't give much info other than basic build and in many cases it doesn't even list who the gun was sold to. Lucky for you there was that document from Remington which gave much more info on your gun and confirmed that it was made as a skeet gun. My guess is that it was manufactured in Ilion NY but used Meriden barrels with the rib inscription. Remington built Parker barrels didn't have the rib inscription. Beautiful gun in excellent condition!
