That is probably the Robert W. Woodruff CHE-Grade .410-bore. See pages 650 and 651 of The Parker Story. It was a gift to the Cody Firearms Museum from Woodruff's friend and business associate Joseph W. Jones. It has been one of my regular stops when the Remington Society of America has done their annual seminars at The Buffalo Bill Center of the West, 2003 and 2014. I counted over 100 Parker Bros. guns on display there.

Kind of a shame to see a gun like that sitting in a museum. Hopefully they let it out to play once in a while....

That's the one Dave. What was your thought on forend checkering? The Teddy Roosevelt Fox was very cool as well.

No Russ everything was behind glass and I cant even get a good picture with it in my hands

The only other CHE-Grade .410-bore I've seen had a slim forearm. The checkering pattern on the forearm of the Woodruff gun does appear a bit nicer than the checkering pattern on the forearm of General Patton's CHE-Grade 28-gauge skeet gun. Maybe just the difference between guns in the 239xxx range and those at the end in the 242xxx range.

Remington did sometimes use unusual checkering patterns on C (and above) guns.

Russ Jackson's Remington 20 ga. CHE is a prime example.
