It would have been a simple matter for the factory, be it Meriden or Illion, to replace the Trojan's rib extension with the proper (for the gun) rib extension with doll's head.

Left side of lug looks to be stamped "D grade for 2 3/4" shells." If so marked that would be correct for Remington made Parker barrels. Looks conclusive that Remington used barrels on hand to fit a set to this gun.
The letter is a nice piece of provenance for this gun.

Are we even sure we are seeing the OV marking?

I want to thank all of the commentators on this thread. The information provided is very much appreciated.

A few photos of the entire Parker, note 26" uncut barrels you all solved the mystery of.

Thanks Again!
Dan
