It is my understanding that any stamp on the barrel flats was the “final” stamp of the worker or inspector fot a particular function in that step of production.
Further, re the R.E.P. stamp, I don’t believe I’ve seen it on any more than two or three Remington Parkers.
And I don’t believe these stamps apply to Parker shotguns.
