Harry, oops, yes both are 20ga, but the last photo, now deleted, was from a DHE and I hadn't noticed that it was from a different gun until you brought it to my attention. All photos now are of the same gun.

I like the quail side panel engraving on the late guns. The barrel bluing on the late Rem Parkers is a little softer than earlier guns. I cleaned this one with Flitz and then waxed it but the barrels are still dull.

From what I've been told, the Remington rust blueing process was slightly different from the process used by Parker Bros. in Meriden. The finish looks a bit duller because of the coarser rusting process used by Remington. Meriden rust blued barrels have a higher sheen, especially in the higher grades, because more iterations and carding was done to obtain the desired 'finished product'.
