That is a great gun. Some of the best engraving I’ve seen. I wondered about the wood as well. Looking at the checkering I also wonder if that’s a factory job. Maybe the pictures don’t do it justice. No legend on the rib probably is a Remington rebarrel. Wonder what happened to the originals? And those rabbits look like Jack rabbits to me. Who ever the artist he or she did a great job.

More likely to be European hares, keeping in mind many of the best engravers employed by Parker Brothers were trained in Europe and in particular, the British Isles. The long faces are those more of hares than of rabbits.
But then, on further investigation, the jack rabbit of the American Southwest is actually a hare and not a rabbit at all... .

In the early 70's I hunted in the mountains of southern Italy. The hare were as big as small dogs.

The Hares we chased with APC's in Germany looked to be about 30 lbs. we never caught one. If that A were rebarreled by Remington it might be a bargain.
