If a person is looking to learn about Parkers before buying and to identify a correct Parker, a good place to start is to acquire and study The Parker Story. Having a mentor also helps.
There is an entire chapter on the Parker Remington Double Trap and Skeet guns and their characteristics including a correctly done checkered butt. There are few factory correct Parker Remington 16ga Skeet guns. A person is not likely to be able to determine correctness without a detailed study of the gun through photographs or in hand.
Documentary records for late Remington Parker guns are based on IBM cards which often provide incomplete or erroneous information.
