I am the first to admit that either I was misinformed or I misunderstoot the information I had on that subject - again, I apologize for perpetuating the misinformation. D.R.

The Research Committee members copied every page of every Parker order book in the Remington Archives. They copied every Parker IBM card in the Remington Archives. Commander Gunther copied every page of every stock book in the Remington Archives and presented the copies to PGCA. Every page of every order book, stock book, and every IBM card is in the PGCA research files, thanks to that research committee. Three members of the 1998 PGCA Research Committee have posted correct information on this thread. Those posters are Mr. McCormack, Mr. Conrad, and Mr. Murphy. If you want confirmation that all guns, high grade and low, were posted in the Parker records and copied by PGCA, ask one of those three people. By the way, a great article explaining the work of the PGCA Research Committee was written by Ron Kirby and published in the Parker Pages. I hope someone can give us a reference to that article, or maybe Dean can reprint it in a future Parker Pages.

I will be more than happy to do so. Where 2013 marks the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the PGCA I am quite sure a reprint of Ron Kirby's informative article will be appreciated. Thanks Bill for the suggestion. D.R.
