Remington owns the name ‘Parker’ not Parker Brothers. The Charles Parker Company would not sell the name ‘Parker Brothers’ to them but did sell the Parker Gun Works, aka ‘Parker’. This is why Remington Arms didn’t engrave Parker Bros. On any Parkers they manufactured after existing stock ran out.
Manufacturing a gun with the name Parker Brothers (or Bros.) might be overstepping their trademark authority. JMHO
