"Hmmm" is an interesting comment. However, no one, including the seller, is representing that gun as an original A grade. Stock book entries will usually identify a single by grade, I think. Don't know if that particular gun is in the stock books however.____Further checking results in "No information available on that serial number."

Hmmmm
Okay, it just seems that way. Of course DelGrego had no control over what gun was sent to them. So A or C?

Ok Larry, I'm going to say it looks to me like an original SA, (restored and customized of course). But I still can't see that much difference between the SA and my SB, so I'm going to continue to hold out for the SAA or SA1S. And I'm going to hold my breadth.

And Bill, I think the seller is claiming the gun to be an original A grade when he advertises "Rare (only 32 made)".

Some additional pics of my SBT. By the color case hardening under the forearm, the Parkers were stunningly beautiful when brand new. Some browning on the barrel crown and corrosion on the trigger indicates to me the SBT was not well taken care of (wiped down) as it should have been, over the years. Some nice markings on the underside of the barrel, still trying to decipher what they all mean. The numbers written in pencil on the underside of the forearm wood "3060" has no reference to the S/N? There were no numbers written on the end of the stock, but the numbers "50814" were written in pencil on the base of the Pachmayr pad.

Okay - finally... the serial number. At first I thought I read 227591 but it turns out 227591 is a Trojan. Looking more closely I read it now as 227691 which is a SC H 2 S 12 32 so it now appears the whole gun was upgraded and what a work of art, certainly equal to the SB's being produced in Meriden.
It has two separate Remington service codes which begs the question, "Did Remington perform the upgrade?" .

Dean should know that, when Robert Runge was doing these upgrades, there was no Serialization Book, and for the most part, no PGCA. He did not "pick his upgrades by using guns that were not in the book". The Georgia Boys provided the most entertaining reading by using serial numbers of faked up guns in their advertising. When the SB was published, we could compare their guns to the guns as manufactured.
