Supposedly the last Parker from Remington was shipped from inventory in the late 1940's, (see TPS) but Parkers were assembled from existing parts and presented to individuals on several occasions well up into the 1950s to honor Remington-connected individuals on special events (e.g., retirement, etc.). Probably all of these were done before Larry Del Grego Sr. left Remington and purchased the existing parts inventory before opening his own business.

For several years before Elmira Arms went out of business, the Hartmann brothers displayed and offered for sale a BHE that bore a serial number beyond any recorded in the archives, but in keeping with the last known sequence of Remington Parker numbers (242XXX).

I don't recall the gauge or the particular configuration of the gun (PG or SG; SFE or BTFE, etc.) but I examined the gun closely on several visits there and it appeared to be the real thing; not an upgrade or a "project gun" someone put together. I don't know when or where they sold it if in fact they did (it was a consignment gun) but I do remember it was displayed in a very nice oak & leather trunk case with accessories.
