At the time of the Remington takeover and transition, there was a lot of Meriden stock that was used up before the Parkers started being fitted with Remington Chrome-Moly barrels (unmarked). So there were some Grades that no doubt were fitted with barrels that normally wouldn't be put on them. However, this subject PH was made earlier than that time being a 203,000 S/N range.
This would have been close to the end of PH production though. Original barrel steel should have been "Parker Special" if it was fluid steel. Just like the G grades.
