There are several stamps on guns made during the Remington ownership era that we do not know the meaning of. Those are among the stamps of unknown meaning.

1ST OF ALL THE GUN IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL , IT APPEARS JUST MADE AT THE FACTORY AND KEPT UNDER WRAPS SINCE NEW , YES MAYBE IT WAS RE-DONE , THIS DOESNT MAKE IT A BAD THING , I DONT FIND ANY NEGATIVE ASPECTS ABOUT THE GUN , ITS TO NICE TO THINK ANYTHING BUT POSITIVE! , IF THE GUN EVER BECOMES FOR SALE PLEASE LET ME HAVE 1ST REFUSAL.

PPat - gorgeous looking gun. Looks like it's ready for business.
I wondered that myself. Beautiful gun, btw!

I assume you are referring to me- George Purtill.
Bill Murphy's post says what I meant. A gun with a serial number of 242055 would seen unlikely to be in such bad shape as to need a full restoration. Plus it is not a field gun that would be beat up. Trap guns are shot a lot but not usually abused. Most all of my guns in the 240,000 plus range are mint.

It is the 1939 Remington/DuPont Trap & Skeet Equipment Catalog.

Thanks Dave Noreen.
Very nice. Now I need one for my reference collection.
This is the tail end on Remington's association/marketing of Parker guns. That is why 242055 is a gun that either would have been unmolested and not in need of restoration or very likely as Bill Murphy said, made from what was on hand at a later date.

Default trap 242055

Regardless of how the gun came into being , it is a Parker treasure to be sure! it doesn't have to be a AA grade gun to be beautiful , and the fact that it was at the end of an era when the last Parkers were made by Remington ,
makes the gun more intriguing.
Take good care of it , and enjoy it.

Mr. Noreen, Thank you for reminding me of this great catalog. I found mine and it has the foldouts in the back for skeet and trap fields also.
