Supposedly the last Parker from Remington was shipped from inventory in the late 1940's, (see TPS) but Parkers were assembled from existing parts and presented to individuals on several occasions well up into the 1950s to honor Remington-connected individuals on special events (e.g., retirement, etc.). Probably all of these were done before Larry Del Grego Sr. left Remington and purchased the existing parts inventory before opening his own business.

For several years before Elmira Arms went out of business, the Hartmann brothers displayed and offered for sale a BHE that bore a serial number beyond any recorded in the archives, but in keeping with the last known sequence of Remington Parker numbers (242XXX).

I don't recall the gauge or the particular configuration of the gun (PG or SG; SFE or BTFE, etc.) but I examined the gun closely on several visits there and it appeared to be the real thing; not an upgrade or a "project gun" someone put together. I don't know when or where they sold it if in fact they did (it was a consignment gun) but I do remember it was displayed in a very nice oak & leather trunk case with accessories.

Thanks Dean, it does measure 2 1/32".
Richard, if I locate all the parts that what I'm going to do. If for no other reason it would make a great piece to practice assembly and disassembly.

The "1980's" Parker paper I put up for sale has a Specifications page which says that Markings "As original - serial numbers continued from last production"

The late gun that Kevin mentions was, or is, a BHE 20 as I recall. There were questions about the gun.

G&H has approximately 80 guns in the 242xxx range in their records that could be researched. I think the last Parker guns sold by Remington were in the 2423xx range; were delivered in 1942 and after; and had lots of options. Just my opinion.
