The buttstock might be Remington, but certainly not Meriden, where a 179xxx gun would have been made.
The Seller covered his butt by calling it a reproduction, but probably meant a reproduction of a GH skeet gun, and nothing more.

Yup, IMO it is a DelGrego upgrade from VH to GH.
Those burds were most definitely engraved by Runge!!
