As many of you can see by my obscure and not so obscure posts, I am researching the "Twilight Zone" of Remington made Parkers: those guns that we do not have "records" on- post S/N 241788 up to the theoretical end of production, gun S/N 242487. #241788 is where the Serialization book ends.
I have been searching available records including this Forum and piecing together data on these last 699, let's call it 700 guns.
It is fascinating and takes a lot of time. I have over 50 hours into this effort and have identified
in some fashion 238 guns- that's only 34% of the missing 700.
I am asking Forum and PGCA members to send me information they have on guns after S/N 241788. It can be a gun you own, have seen, have seen for sale, used to own or whatever. I need the grade, gauge, barrels and whatever else is convenient for you to provide.
Let me know if its a gun you own currently that you want to keep confidential. I just need to know the basis of your information (personally owned, saw at XYZ auction house on June xx, 19xx, Joes' gun shop in Deadend, Connecticut, etc.) so that I know that it is reliable.
The easiest way to send me information is by email:
george.m.purtill@snet.net
Of course if you love to PM, that is fine also.
Use the serial number in the subject line if you could.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
In my article I plan to publish a statistical table, not a listing of individual guns.
