Actually, the last Parker made by Remington Arms in Ilion, NY when production was halted at the outbreak of WW II was something like 242464 or something very close in the last digit of the serial number. After the war, a few guns were assembled but it was not cost-effective so Parker Gun production was permanently terminated.
