Unfortunately, no records of what repair was done survive.
Interesting that the gun has PARKER on the bottom of the frame and a Remington date code on the barrel flat but has the PARKER BROS. rather than PARKER GUN WORKS - OVERLOAD PROVED stamp.

The manufacture of the gun could have begun prior to the 1934 date when Remington took control of the Parker Gun Works but finished and shipped during Remington ownership...?
