Questions on Remington Parker

[Phil C]

Actually there was 2 20 gauge VHE one Pistol grip double trigger gun, the other a straight grip single trigger. Not the best pictures but best I could get under the circumstance. Guns are no longer for sale by the owner. I may have been a little conservative on condition after looking them over. Granted screws in the wrong holes on one. I could trade my left one for the straight grip. I believe it was made November 1941.S/N 242177. What s the highest number document so far? Oh well I know who the caretaker is of these cool guns.

Chuck, pistol grip is not the default for all Remington Parker's. I have .410 listed in the SB as straight grip and it is an original capped pistol grip. Several .410s around 238194 are list as SG

Bill and Bruce, let me clarify. All entries for the grip type after S/N 238934 that you find in the Serialization Book is based on the Remington IBM cards which don't list the grip type, except for a very few cases in the first IBM book and they were probably inventory from years ago. S/N 238934 is the last entry found in Stock Book #82. If you look at the Serialization Book, all entries past that S/N have either "P" for Trojans, "C" or "-" for all the rest.

Right or wrong, let me know, I'm always interested in getting educated.
