No. They are not Remington barrels. They are Jim Geary barrels from before the OVERLOAD PROVED stamps. The serial number chronology says it is a 1915 vintage gun. The rib legend says "MERIDEN, CONN."

I believe I see a 3 after that EE or EF tight to the lug. Five repair codes.

EE or EF3 -- October 1936 or 1937
WG3 -- August 1938
EXX3 -- October 1951
BA3 -- January 1954
WA3 -- August 1954

My guess is that after all this the owner gave up and got the Miller SST that is on the gun now. Perhaps the earliest repair code was when the gun was fitted with the beavertail forearm and an SST.
