Remington Repairs during WW2

[Cold Spring]

I've used the Advanced Search function and found some threads but haven't come up with a clear answers to the following two questions:

1) I've come across a nice 1920's Parker with Repair Code RMM3 indicating November 1943 and of course that was during WW2 when Remington was heavily involved in our war efforts. The question is: at that time was Remington generally accepting Parker repair work from the public, or were repairs primarily done for factory employees or others "with pull"?

2) In November 1943 was Remington doing restorations with cyanide case colors and if so, were they striped, mottled or what?

Thanks in advance for replies.

I know that the late remington made guns were bone charcoal hardened on all of the parts except for the top levers which were cyanide colored. As they were supposedly having issues with the levers warping with bone charcoal.

I would not think they would have varied from that process at that time with service work. But I wiuld not be able to say for sure.
