And the letter states the barrels are Acme Steel but neither has a distinct "A" stamped within the circle on the right barrel flat.
The remaining case color is cyannide induced.
None of the changes or modifications look like Remington to me - Who had a matting machine that would replicate Parker's rib matting? Wasn't it LeFevre (!)?
And the one Dr. Truitt links for us has also been to Remington.
These guns are so similar, and both sent to Peoria and eventually both to the same person - and now they both arrive on Gunbroker at about the same time.
