Default G- Whiz!
Well headed out to a local antique auction Saturday ,where there was a Parker Brothers ,Grade 6 advertised ! At first ,I was a little disappointed to find what I did and then I thought ,Hey there's nothing to be disappointed with in this gun ! It is a very late Remington era 16 Ga. Built on a # 1 Frame with some unique stamping and the , Parker / Ilion New York Grip Cap ! Appears to be all original with a few handing marks and patina ! I happened to be the final bid ,thought I would share some pics. with you fellows ! Hope you enjoy them ! Best ; Russ

Russ, Check out page 582 in TPS. We are not sure of the meaning of these symbols. I have seen the sunburst symbol of a few late guns but never the heart symbol. Interesting....

Glad you asked Russ...

When we first began to see bumper stickers and window stickers back in the '70's of such things as "I *heart* My Labrador Retriever" or "I *heart* My Grandkids" or "I *heart* My Volvo" and so on and so on... we thought they were clever and novel but soon got sick of seeing them. Littel did we know that Parker (under ownership of Remington) actually started that fad with that little heart which, of course meant, "I Love My Parker".

Hello Rick ,Thank you ,Yes it was in the case and the case doesn't appear to have any special markings to relate it with Remington ,but I haven't really given it a good looking over or cleaning just yet ! Dave S ,I thought the Heart was unique also !
