Default What happened to this DH?

I'm posting pictures for a new PGCA member. The pictures show a DHE with fluid steel barrels. The records show it as just a DH 12ga. with Damascus barrels. The forend iron and ejectors look like Parker work but there are no records of this gun having ejectors. They were probably added but in a missing Order Book. The S/N's on the forend iron, and barrel lug show evidence of re-stamping with 61845. The barrel flats just show Kf and 3/14 for the weight but no letter for the type of steel. The rib inscription has been re-stamped without the barrel steel.

Any ideas as to what happened to this gun and who might have modified it?
