It is marked skeet/in, skeet/out. The mark which looks like the Maltese falcon is there also as is another mark which I know has been discussed but not identified. His work is obvious but it looks like he didn't sign mine. The Parker overload stamp is present on both flats.

Daryl, trying to decipher your codes. It looks like your gun may have been made in Sept. of 1938, by the D G marking. Then some service in Feb. of 1939 by the LG3, and then again in Feb. 1940 by the LH3 marking.
The marking you mentioned that looks like a Maltese falcon, could you have meant Maltese Cross? The cross is seen on later Remington barrel flats.
That sounds like a sweet gun. Do you have a letter on it?
