It is a Remington Parker from the pre-Ilion era and right at the end of the "transition period".

Thanks, what year would that gun have been made and if it was in good condition what is the approx. value. It has a Del Greco pad.Does that mean anything?

It was made in 1935. The Parker Gun works was moved to Ilion NY in 1936.
The Pad might indicate some work was performed on it by Del Grego - but maybe not. Could be that someone got a Del Grego pad and installed it on the gun. We can't determine value without having the gun in hand for a thorough examination. |

I am a neophyte please explain, was this gun made by Parker, a secondary factory at Ilion, and did Remington own this gunworks or what? If this gun is perfect mechanically and cosmetically give me a ball park value. Also how many were made. Thanks Robert

Robert, I'm not trying to be cryptic. 237802 is in the "book" as a 28 gauge, VHE with 26" barrels and was probably made on the 00-Frame which, at the time it was made, was the standard frame size for that particular gauge. Whether it was a capped pistol grip, an uncapped pistol grip or a straight grip is not indicated in the book. Value is entirely dependent on condition but being a 28 gauge, if it is in the range of 'very good' and 'un-messed-with' to 'as new in box' would have a value of anywhere from $8K up to about $20K.... again, depending entirely upon condition.
It was made after Remington bought the Parker Gun Works but was made by the original Parker Bros. employees and contractors in the Meriden CT plant so it can be considered a Remington Parker though it may not have all the 'earmarks' of a later Remington Parker. |

It is the Parker Gun Identification & Serialization book published by Blue Book Publications and authored by Charlie Price. It can be purchased for under $40 and is an indispensible resource for serious Parkerphiles.
