Gun #1 appears to have been cosmetically restored.
Compare your colors with the original case colors on the gun I posted in the "Finally" thread. .

Gun #2 has been color case hardened using the cyanide process but I won't say it has been redone. Are there any Remington date codes on the left barrel flat next to the lug?
I may have just seen the answer to my own question - it has a Remington Parker buttplate. Leading me to believe it may have gone to Ilion for refurbishment. It isn't a Remington era Parker but it looks like it may have spent some time in their shop. .

Thanks for the quick replies. When I get the chance I’ll take them down and check for any codes.

I just have one more follow up question, I thought Gun # 2 was colored using the cyanide method as Dean mentioned. Any idea what method was used to recolor Gun #1?
