I believe Remington was trying to preserve the imported walnut rather than add to its inventory. The Parker/Remington catalogue of 1937 lists the D grade with american walnut while Parker Bros. always catalogued the D with imported walnut. After 1934 its is doubtful that Remington needed to buy additional imported walnut to meet the demand for high grade Parkers. On the otherhand Remington needed large quantities of american walnut and I would bet that Parkers got the best of those which accounts for improved wood quality during late production of Parkers.
