If Remington did any work on a gun it was marked on the barrel flats with its alpha numeric code, for instance LSS3 is February 1947. I doubt Remington would have buffed out the rib matting on any gun, as yours appears to have been done. I have a damascus GH from 1899 that has had the stock replaced. Under the trigger guard the serial number is stamped along with an "R". I've always wondered if the R was for Remington eventhough there are no repair codes on the watertable.
