The interesting thing for me is that NONE of these guns are Remington guns per se. Remington guns are thought to be 236531 and onwards. All of these so called transitional guns are before that.
However, what we have or at least I have learned is that there are no bright lines in Remington or Parker production.
Dates and serial numbers are estimates only. There is a lot of room on each side.

I would suggest that these particular guns may have been those that had been started before the purchase/sale of the 'Parker Gun works' as part of the inventory of machinery, tools, parts, completed guns and uncompleted guns, and finished after Remington Arms ownership.
Notice that the butt plate on 236199 has the correct spur too.
