I didn't look at it closely either. Seems it had been well used but would that have been something done aftermarket or would it have been a factory upgrade, maybe by Remington. Sorry I didn't check it closer but it may have had Titanic barrels. Anyone know more about such?

It was a strange and terrifying gun (conjuring up what it must have looked like before it was "enhanced"). Commentary on it had been overshadowed since earlier that afternoon, however, regarding the "aged but elegant" straight-grip CHE Pigeon gun on the rack that, save for a "burping" ejector problem, was described as "one of the most exceptional and rarest Parkers ever to come in here." A marginal ROHAPAW candidate, it nonetheless bore scrutiny.

Thanks Kevin, sounds like I need to make sure I take my best bifocals in the next time I glance at a look a like gun.

Thanks Kevin, from what you and Bill saw, I think I need to make sure I take my best bifocals in before I report something unusual. Pardon the rookie observation.

Dean, this is a great story. Check the forends to see if they are numbered 1 and 2. Just may be a two barrel set.

Thanks Mark. I'm delighted to hear from you - I hope you're doing well and I wish you the very best at this Holiday season.
Only the BTFE has a 2 and the original splinter has no marking other than the serial number of course. There are two Remington stamps so I suspect the BTFE was fitted to the gun on one of those two occasions.

Be well my friend!
Dean
