The research letter will most likely tell you that SN 84,025 was ordered in 1896 and was a G grade extractor gun, 30" damascus barrels choked full and full, 14" LOP, and 3" drop at heel. The gun was most likely shipped to a dealer or large hardware distributor and cost $80. If the gun was shipped to New York, maybe Shoverling Daly, or if lucky, the Charles Parker Company showroom in NYC. Some guns show the name of the first purchaser.
There will be no records on the Remington work in 1940. It is a remote possibility that you could take the gun to Babe Del Grego in Ilion, and he might be able to tell you something about what he believes with the gun.
Many Parkers were owned by "somebody special" and still are.
