Research Article on Late Remington Parkers

[Bill Murphy]

I assume there is a reason not to list the numbers you have acquired to date. Some may not want their numbers published. However, that makes it very hard to determine which numbers to add to your collection. In other words, does your list include the Patton guns, the Del Grego upgrades, the guns sold on major auction sites in the last decade or two? If you have a bunch of numbers already, which you do, it makes me think that anything I send you would be duplicates. Can you let us know what is on your present list? It shouldn't be too much of a danger to those who have shared numbers with you so far.

I want people to give me duplicates and triplicates. Sometimes the serial number may be the same but the grade or barrel length may not be. I have many duplicates already. I even have one where the grade is different.
I don't know what the Patton guns are.
I don't know what the Del Grego upgrades are.
I have some auction house information.
But if I can figure out how to make my spreadsheet print only the numbers that I have strikes on I will do so.

That would be very useful to those of us who would like to contribute.

Thanks Bill
I know there are members out there who have the equivalent of the Library of Congress when it comes to Parkers. I have already had generous support.

George, there are two late guns owned by Gen. George S. Patton; as I recall they are shown in TPS in the Special Guns chapter. I remember a late number A1S in the Grades chapter. Maybe others in there but I can't lift the books anymore. Suggest getting the Remington date code where available with other data. Good luck, Charlie Price

That is a great idea Charlie. That will tell us the production date. [To Dean- remember what I said about how smart CP is.]

***shhhh... yes George - we've spoken of Charlie's knowledge and experience often, and how he is always eager to share it.***
