George, I also saw your post over on the LCSCA, couldn't help you then, and really can't say much to help you now. I read what Topgun told you, his advise is some of the best.
In seeing the pictures now, it looks like your gun was made in 1920. The RE stands for Regular frame and the "E" is for ejectors. Does this serial number appear on the receiver's water table, and on the forend metal?
It is kind of odd to see Field on the bottom and Specialty on the top. The writing on top of the barrel looks right to me. Plus it looks like there is some scroll work near the begining of the barrels, didn't do that on Field grades.
Hopefully Tom (Topgun) will reply and settle it.
One other thing, I don't think that proof marks were stamped on the barrels then (1920). Another mystery.
