Yes, the Cliff Green big gun is a 1/2 frame. The little gun is a 00 frame, if I remember correctly. They could have built the little gun on a 000 frame, since there are two known examples of 28 gauge 000 frame guns. Centerville, Maryland, Cliff Greens home town, was where one of my 20 gauge singles called home before I found it.

What do we think about the choke markings on Robert Johnson's great 1/2 frame gun? Also the numbers that are stamped under the choke markings?

I think all the stamps on the barrel flats are original Remington stamps but the 70 and 62 puzzle me too Bill.

If I send off for a letter for my SN# 241883 1/2 frame 12g, what do you think it will say if anything?

There is precious little on Remington/Ilion era Parkers but you should first send a PM to Chuck Bishop, our Research Chairman and the guy who produces research letters from existing factory records to see if it mentions the frame size or anything else that might be of particular significance.

Love the Marbles front sight. Certainly a 1/2 frame skeet gun with double triggers has to be pretty nearly unique. Does it have the grade, gauge and chamber length on the left side of the barrel lug?

Yes

I am not familiar with Parker skeet guns whose choke markings are not SKEET IN and SKEET OUT. Is there a reference in The Parker Story for skeet guns choke marked only SKEET?

I order research letters for all of my Parkers for which information is available. You never know what you are going to get until you get the letter. Higher grades sometimes yield disappointingly little info and lower grades sometimes yield more than you expect.

Bill, this is all I found after a cursory look.

The stamps are in the correct spots and I don’t know why they differ from the customarily seen stamps, but I wouldn’t rule out their being Ilion factory stamps.
241883 is definitely a gun produced in Ilion.
