Edgar I believe that when these upgraded guns were created in the '40s and '50s for the executives of Remington and DuPont, they probably viewed these guns as much Parker as those produced in Meridan. By upgrading existing guns they could have a new Parker and no one cared rather it was a prewar or postwar built Parker. Between Remingtons Custom Shop, Runge, and DelGrego I assume that some beautiful Parker were acquired by their new owners at a very favorable price. Different times, different views.
