Parkers in the Remington Museum

Dave,

I do not think it is a pre 1912 gun. That is because of the use of the low profile safety and short top lever. Which was not started to be used until later than that.
James P. Hayes cost cutting design was thought up in 1911.
What I think this to be is an attempt by Remington to revive Hayes' design later on in order to cut costs for them.

Until I get the S/N on the gun, we cannot be sure of when it was made. That will be key.

John D., in 1998, the 3200 One of 1000 pair, trap and skeet, serial #1 was in the original green plastic case, stored away in the archives. I don't know whether you are referring to before or after 1998. The serial numbers are not identical as I recall. The trap gun has a "T" in the serial number and the skeet gun has an "S". I may be wrong about that. I do not own one so can't take a look.
