Daryl,
I'm going to offer the guess that because there is no Parker anywhere on the frames, they were soft-fitted in Meriden when Parker Bros. owned the gun works and they were held in inventory but they were final fitted and finished after Remington owned the gun works.
The work would have been done by former Parker Bros. employees and contractors but Remington was not authorized to use the Parker Bros. logo and they probably hadn't decided how to mark the guns yet.
That's my guess...
