Barrel flat markings -1923 AAHE

[LtCol Henderson Marriott]

Thanks again, Dave:

You are correct in that the ventilated rib is marked :
" Parker Bros. Makers Meriden CT. USA Peerless Steel"

Based on that, do you think that the rib was added in 1936-or before-in Meriden as 1923 manuf. date ?
In other words, could it have been done by Parker Bros. or later
done by Remington-Parker and roll stamped accordingly with the Parker Bros
inscriptions?

The SN on this AAHE is 203418, placing it built in 1923. The puzzlement is WHAT exactly was done during the return 1936 service?
{Wish my camera work was better suited, but photos are in the Summer 2003 edition of the Double Gun Journal}.
