Just guessing here but Remington did put cyanide colors on Parkers but I haven't seen enough of them to be expert on them. They were also known to put nice wood on lower grade guns and the fluting at the nose of the comb looks right. I'd say it's original. Nice gun.

Not to pick a nice gun apart, my guess would be a restoration, but an excellent restoration. The lines at the head of the stock (where a D grade would have the drop points) aren't nice and sharp. Also, were the triggers on V grade guns blued? Here's a link to an original beauty.

I am thinking DelGrego. A couple things that caught my eye. Going by the pictures the profile of the forend looks to be the more squared off style typical of them. The case colors look to be theirs also but the typical line under the breech balls is not there that I can see in the pictures so it could be Remington. Still in all a wonderful gun with great wood. I wouldn't kick it out of bed...
