There is a Remington repair or service code stamped into the left barrel flat in an unusual location but it may be indicative of the replacement stock which had Remington style border to the checkering which is unlike the mullered borders of Parker Bros. while in Meriden CT. The contour of the Monte Carlo comb exactly replicates those done in Meriden.
