Yes you are correct. After consulting with this forum as well as some rather knowledgeable collectors in this area, they have said that this gun is not only not original but also overpriced. I will not be purchasing this gun. I was just influenced by the steel barrels. I guess we are all looking for that gun that is an honest and good representation of the time it was made. I don't believe this gun was intentionally misrepresented but it is not a true Remington and should have been stated as such
The information I receive from this forum is very valuable.

The 1900 has a snap on forearm and only one wood screw on the trigger guard. Couple of years ago I bought a F grade with a 2X4 looking forearm, 12 1/2" stock. I added on to the stock and had Bachelder install a semi beavertail forearm. Wish I hadn't , with their style of latch it keeps wanting to work for forward of the metal hardware. Must have been why they never offered a beavertail forearm.

The 1900 has a snap on forearm and only one wood screw on the trigger guard. Whether there is one or two screws in the trigger guard back strap is a time period thing. Two-screw Model 1900 --  two-screw Model 1894 --  One-screw Model 1900 --  One-screw Model 1894 --  Straight grip Model 1894s always had two screws in the trigger guard back strap.

I would think any 1894 made before 1900 had two screws in the trigger guard and after the 1900 was made a worker could have grabbed either one. JMHO

No, I think it was part of the change in the actions made in the 1905-06 time frame when they moved the sear pin forward a bit and went to the separate firing pins rather than firing pins integral with the hammers.
