Thanks for the feedback.
"The curvature of the wrist doesn't look like Parker, and the checkering appears finer. The Germanic carving, in my opinion, was done by a skilled hand, who probably did a lot of that work, and was likely a German craftsman. Same for the fore end. The added engraving is quite good."
I agree, probably performed by another engrave & wood carver.
I am hopeful that The Parker Letter investigation can uncover what the Remington work tag numbers stamped on the barrel indicate, what work was done. LK3 (Feb 1941) and ANN3 (Mar 1944). That may indicate additional engraving and carving in-side, or outside the Remington factory?
