Mills, Brians right that is not what I expected to see. Why the unmatted area? Remington did not roll stamp address or barrel steel on there replacement barrels. Looks like Baker matting to me. I have seen a couple of unfinished Parker barrel blanks for sale over several decades. When I visited Lefever in 1973 or '74, I was shown the remaining unfinished barrels which amounted to 13/14 sets, I was told by Dick ? that there was one 00 set a very few 1 1/2 and the balance #1 16 ga. sets.
