Rick, Dave - did you notice how the line at the bottom of the barrel does not align with the line of ball/fence (left side of action picture, first gun)? Do you think that it could have left Remington/Parker that way?

I have seen very few Remington/Parker guns.

Thanks Dave. The "Parker Steel" barrel was completely new to me. I had forgotten about "Peerless" and "Whitworth".

This gun was discussed on this forum previously.

Oh! I missed it before. Thanks!

I was field trialing that month.

I have no idea why ed started a new thread.

gentlemen: it would be nice if we could keep this thread to the subject of its original intent, which is to determine the differences in G Grade engravings over the years.

If you wish to discuss specific guns, and their barrel configurations, etc, then please do so, but not in this thread. thank you.

over the years, I have only seen two styles of G Grade engraving, both are pictured here. anyone have any other pictures of other G Grade style engravings that they could post here?

and I took another look at the "parker story" volumes. nothing pictured, except the usual or standard G Grade engravings.

anyone else ever hear the story about receivers being sent to Remington for engraving and hardening?

Yeah. The receivers that were in inventory when the operation moved from Meriden to Ilion at the end of 1937. Tons of frames were part of the move. Other than that... Unheard of.

brian: what you say is true, but after the fact...what I heard is that the parker engravers had all bailed. so in 1935, Remington management sent receivers to illion for engraving and hardening?

Gee Ed... Thanks for setting me straight. Anyway there is nothing unique or unusual about the G Grades engraving. Just one of a few standard patterns.

Hear that first hand?

dase: I am not here to set anyone straight...I am jus trying to find out how rare the non typical engraved G Grade engravings might be? I have never seen them befo...have you?
