Meriden Parkers made adter the remington 1934 take over will have the "Parker" on the bottom since that was Remington's new way of marking them. But, parts like the barrels which would have been kept in inventory would have the typical Meriden marks on them. Meriden barrels were used on the guns all the way up to after the move to ilion.
It was not until after 1937 that you would see all of the Remington features come to be. Such as, unmarked rib, ilion stamped water table, ilion grip cap, etc...
The frame engraving would have been one of the last things done, thus it was one of the first to transition.
