So many questions ... Why would Remington make a run of these in 20 gauge, instead of 12? Why would a bunch of 20 gauge hammer guns be distributed to game wardens in the 1950s? Why would the State of Ohio issue a letter regarding this?

Not doubting you, Lloyd, but would really have to see detailed pics, and maybe a close-up of that letter, before we could do more than wonder what the heck you've got, while suspecting it's not what you're thinking it to be.
