In researching the Parker Story we were informed by some old time Remington-
Parker employees that Remington initially had some problems of warping on the top tang and forearm metal with bone meal/ charcoal case coloring. Therefore, they used cynaid coloring on those thin pieces to prevent warping. No record as
to how long that was continued. Remington enlisted a retired Parker Brothers employee that did case color to ride the train from Meriden to Ilion to help them
in the traditional bone meal charcoal case coloring.
