Duplicate Serial Numbers

[Dean Romig]

I guess Runge/DelGrego didn't look closely enough at their original Remington/Parker factory records or just figured the serial number was close enough to production end that there would be no problem.

It makes one wonder which is the real 242386. It's possible, though pretty unlikely that the DHE20 was the donor gun, but given the photo of the DHE is probably a digital one, That scenario seems pretty unlikely.
They wouldn't have had to consult any records, but simply put the same number, in gold, on the upgraded gun. Then there's the possibility that the number was duplicated before the upgrade was even made, and the upgrade is what the rest of the parts indicate. Is the .410 one of the ones commissioned by Shelly Gitman?
It would be great if Larry DelGrego got back to work and could solve this mystery.
Does the .410 have Runge's signature ?
