1970s? I think that may be referring to when Remington finished some guns up here and there from parts inventory for internal presentations to employees. The production and public offering was later on. It was 1988 that they were cataloged by Remington. And to my understanding the guns pictured in the catalog were not actually new guns, but just original guns that were refinished to look like new by the custom shop. And weren't the frames and various parts for the proposed production made for Remington by Kolar? It had to have been the popularity of the Parker Reproductions that got Remington considering offering Parkers to the public again.

As to the modern Parkers put together by CSMC, it is my understanding that about a dozen were made and only half of those were actually sold.

I will be away from my meager catalog stuff for several months, but I think the paper I have would have been from before DuPont sold its 51% interest in Remington
