I see a Remington repair code KJ3 on the left barrel flat. K = May, J = 1940. That butt stock looks like way nicer wood than the Brothers P were putting on a VH-Grade in 1900. Much more like Remington was putting on a VH-Grade in 1940. Is that recoil pad a Fray-Mershon Whiteline? If so it could be factory original from 1940 Remington work.
My 138000 later 20-gauge 26-inch VH-Grade has barrels with a 3 weight stamp. We need to see a picture of the muzzle end of the top rib, like this shot of an uncut 20-gauge --
Also, a side quartering view of the breech end of the barrels to see if the gun was fitted with the post-1910 replaceable bolt plate when it was to Ilion in 1940. This picture shows a 1930 20-gauge VH-Grade with the bolt-plate on left, and a 1902 12-gauge VH-Grade without the bolt-plate on right --
