Here you go Bill. Sorry it is rotated but I can't figure out how to rotate it upright. I believe it has to do with the size of the picture but I can't seem to correct it.

Gerry My question which Dean and others misunderstood, was; Is it possible this (your) gun, obviously made in Meriden CT, was restocked by Remington at some time in it's life BEFORE you undertook the excellent restoration?
The reason I ask is because features on your stock (nose of the comb) are very common to Remington's style of stock making, and quite uncommon to the stocks made in Meriden, prior to the move to Ilion.
The enclosed pictures are of one of my D grade guns. It is ovbious this gun was made in Meriden CT, mostly by the banner style engraving of 'Parker Bros.', However, you will see that the drop points are very characteristic of Ilion work, and would never have had such straight sides if made in Meriden. This gun has a large 'R' stamped, in the upper tang groove, if my memory serves me, and there is a single Remington Repair code stamped on the bottom of the left barrel flat (March, '36 if I recall)Unlike your gun, however, the comb nose on mine is more like that found on Meriden stocks.
An interesting aside about this gun, perhaps only to me, is that it belonged to my father, and he traded it to Pete Harvey in July of 1976, towards a 28ga. H&H Badminton grade (with every option, effectively making it a Royal) He had other similar Parkers, and I can only assume he traded this particular gun because of the single trigger. The gun appeared at Hausmanns, and while the serial number was screaming at me, I intended to buy it anyway, and only confirmed it was once my fathers when I plowed through his very good notes. My dad has been gone 32 years but I'll bet he'd get a chuckle out it.

Edgar, I haven't gotten a letter on the gun but I certainly will and might be able to answer your question then.

Gerry, is the area in front of the gun rack a table for viewing guns or is it at floor level?

Yes it is a work bench area and it goes completely around the room with gun racks on two walls and loaders on the third wall.
