I have a few Remington guns that I hunt with. They usually have better stock dimensions and nicer wood then the older guns. I seem to gravitate towards the Ilion guns.

True about the figure of the wood. It’s like Remington only used straight grain American walnut on the Trojan and the grades 0, 1, 2, 3 each got wood with figure that Meriden would have used for at least the next higher grade.

Here is 241,601 , the last C in the records. It’s an under 7 lb 12ga, thin wrist, delicate checkering , a fast upland gun at IC and Mod. I have been privileged to be its caretaker for many years.
Years ago I was offered GHE 241,602 , a 20ga. It was a stretch financially and I passed it by, to my regret now. It was a very nice gun. If a Remington Parker comes your way, think seriously about it. |

All things being equal I don't think there is any difference in value. My favorites are the Damascus barreled guns.

Are Parker Repro’s more like Meriden or Ilion Parkers in their craftsmanship and finer details?

I own one Illion Parker now and hope to add some more. There was a GH on a half frame a few months ago I really wanted
The quality seems pretty high to my eye. |

The Parker Reproductions were exact copies of high condition Ilion Parkers that Mr. Skueuse sent to Japan to be duplicated.
So - they look like Remington Parkers in almost every way but the manufacturing procedure was nothing like the processes used by Remington. .
