Looks like a replacement or a special order. I wonder if a PGCA letter would yield any clues?

. . . . or did someone refinish the stock and stain it a darker color?

First off the pictures are lacking in their presentation of the gun to see much detail. I can see the forend checkering pattern is incorrect for a VHE BTFE. I believe Remington would sometimes use better wood than expected on V grades to use inventory. Typically a V grade skeet gun would have a checked butt rather than a DHBP. What does the serial number tell you, is this a Remington era gun? Does it have double beads, non automatic safety?

Ed, per the serialization book the gun was a capped pistol grip, option 5 (no BTFE). Given the lack of shield and non standard checkering pattern I would wager the gun is completely restocked.
