The Belgian-proofed barrels appear to be original, as per Mr. Semmer's book. Too bad about the crack in the wrist, though. I think it's a big Wow too Pete. Those Remington F-grade double traps/live bird guns have great lines.

The alpha lettre annale indicates the barrels were proved in 1948 It doesn't look like an 'a' which would be 1922. The Crown over D is the mark of Jean-Baptiste Delcour-Dupont/Canons Delcour S.A. (barrel production) of Nessonvaux. The entire gun must have gone to Belgium for fitting the replacement barrels.
