This is just MY opinion, and others are free to disagree so take it for what it's costing you ...I believe that once a company is bought out by another firm and the new owner continues to produce the same line of products, under the original company's name, the product is a FAKE regardless of it's quality. There's no disputing the fact that Remington built Parkers and Parker reproductions are both high quality guns ... Whether they match the quality as a Parker built in Meridien, under the direction of the Parker family is for each individual to decide ... I'm not saying that I would never own a Remington built Parker or a reproduction, but I am saying that I don't hold either gun with the same esteem as what I consider to be the genuine article.
