I just browsed through Ron's album and noticed the forend iron is a standard non-ejector iron but appears to be cyanide case colored. The barrels also appear to be newer barrels with Parker Overload Proofs. The serial number puts it at 1896 production so my guess is it went to have ejector fitted by Moran & Wolfersperger at some point in its life and then later went back to Parker for new barrels. Parker probably said we dont fit new barrels to non-factory added ejector systems so they replaced the forend iron as well.
