Edgar,

Is this stamping and are these the lugs you were inquiring about?
I'm using my camera phone to take the pictures, so if the clarity of the photos isn't helping answer your question just let me know.

Yes, and good pics. Certainly appears to be a factory fitted 2nd set of barrels. It would lead me to believe that the original barrels were with the gun when it had the 2nd set fitted, but I could be wrong. I'm also speculating that the work was done in Meriden, even if Remington owned Parker at that point. If it was a set of Meriden barrels that went to Ilion, then I'd expect to see Remington stamping on the flats.
Very nice gun! I'm sure you'll get plenty of use out of it, and perhaps more so because of the Titanic barrels. I guess it's the rarity of Bernard barrels that gets some wound up, but personally, I find damascus patterns more pleasing to look at.
