This gun is XS0606, which was obtained by the PGCA from Remington in 2005 and sold by sealed bids. It generated considerable interest and discussion at the time and was sold to a California collector. Mailers concerning the gun were sent to all PGCA members and notices were placed in trade publications.
In response to one of our forum expert's comment about Remington sponsoring a high school project, I don't know if any of our members would know if they did or not and I am sure his A grade Parkers are better. But regardless, that has nothing to do with this gun. Austin Hogan authored the write up in the PGCA mailer saying " This gun is handsomely engraved in the late AHE fashion, blued and case colored with the character of late Parker guns. The game scenes are close derivatives of those on Ilion Parkers. The frame and hinge pin are faithfully executed. "
