Gun #2 has been color case hardened using the cyanide process but I won't say it has been redone. Are there any Remington date codes on the left barrel flat next to the lug?
I may have just seen the answer to my own question - it has a Remington Parker buttplate.
Leading me to believe it may have gone to Ilion for refurbishment. It isn't a Remington era Parker but it looks like it may have spent some time in their shop.
