Phil, the white line recoil pads may be original on very late Remington Parkers. There are no factory records proving that, but none disproving either, and white line pads were popular and contemporary to the gun. Some are of the age that they could be original.
Many people, including myself, think highly of Remington Parkers. I make no generalizations and prefer to let each gun stand on its own. A late small bore Remington Parker is scarce and can be a desirable gun. A two barreled A-1S set in 28ga is owned by a major collector friend and is extremely fine.
TPS has an entire chapter on Remington Parkers, I recommend that.
