The first Remington Meriden parker is said to be 236XXX. But as Ralph English's old thread taught us, there were MANY transition guns that had neither Parker on the side nor the bottom. Then Parker became solely on the bottom. That is a good question- when did it start and based on the way Parker batched guns, it is probably impossible to narrow it to a single gun.
Yeah I apologize to David - we have messed up your thread with this drivel.
