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.

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.

I think I have that catalog in my files. Now I gotta check this evening

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.

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.
