Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

That plate would not be correct on your gun. It should have the standard serrated plate that was used on the Trojan gun.

And... any gun from that era (1926) would have the name "Parker Bros" or "Parker Brothers" on it. You are correct in assuming that the plate on your gun is from the Remington Era.

Now... since all we can see is the butt end of it, not much can be assumed based on the condition of the rest of the gun.
It is not out of the realm of possibility that the gun was worked on by Remington later on and that plate was put on by them. Are there any Rem repair codes on your barrels?
