I don't know from whence the gun sprang, but there's no reason why the gun wouldn't have needed a restoration by DelGrego even in the 1960's. By then it was 15+ years old, minimum, and a lot can happen in that time to a gun that is in use. A restock? Maybe. Don't we always hear how trap shooters are the worst at modifying their stocks? Maybe the original was a mess by 1960.

An avid trapshooter, or even a careless user, could easily 'wear out' a gun in 15 years.

Pat, The marks you describe are commonly found on late Remington/Parkers. We are not sure of the meaning. Inspectors marks I would assume.

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.

Default trap 242055

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.
