Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Yes, that 2 stamp is NOT original or correct. Besides, IF that set was 2 frame, they would not function properly on a 1-1/2 frame gun.
The gun is likely a 1-1/2 frame and so are those barrels. Maybe the stamping was very light or wiped out and for some reason a 2 got put on it. Maybe for 2nd set of barrels? Who knows.
As a sidebar. The gun is also a later factory restock. Done in the remington era. So, the gun has good solid wood on it.

A 1 1/2 frame and a 2 frame both have 1 1/8 inch firing pin spacing.
It appears to me that the barrels with the 2 on the lug are the original barrels for the gun. There is a Remington repair code stamped on the left barrel flat to the right of the oval with the JG. Looks like BJ3 (January 1940) but the photo pixilates badly when enlarged.
The barrels with the 1 1/2 on the lug appear to be late Remington barrels and the forearm is wider at the tip in the late style. These barrels probably added by Remington at the time of the restock. They also appear to have the BJ3 repair code.
Too bad the seller doesn't give us a few more pictures like the inside of the forearms and the forearm loop on the barrels and the serial number on the side of the barrel lug on the earlier barrels.
