Neither the original purchase price from Remington to the PGCA , the purchase price from the successful bidder or the name of the bidder was ever publicly disclosed.
The offering circular explained the trigger details, as did an article in the Parker Pages for PGCA members. Curious PGCA members can find the article in the electronic archives. The engraver selected by Remington to work on the gun was considered an expert in his craft and I have seen his name on other work. Engraving art is like any other art; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Bruce Day, Parker beginner |

The single biggest detractor is the missing rib(s) around the breech balls. I'm aware that late, late Parkers from Remington did not always have them, but that was a mistake back then, too.

I went and found my brochure on this gun and it states" A modified Model 3200 trigger single trigger assembly is used". I knew I read that somewhere.

The Remington Parkers " continuation/revival" guns from 1988 at Vintageers 2010 were both 20 gauges. AHE. ( not AAHE ). And A1S. The CEO and a Board Member of DuPont were original owners. There were no AAHE only one A1S and the remaining were AHE ONLY..... Parker Pages were to write a story on these two but haven't been contacted yet?

In the photos the engraving looks like something cranked out by an Afgan in the Khyber Pass. And it appears the rib extension is a separate piece from the rib itself? I don't think I'd trade one of my DH guns for it......

Joe, my guess is that you haven't had one of these in hand to appreciate it's beauty. They are exceptionally well done in every detail.
