Robin is correct. The terms of the contract wherein Remington purchased the Parker Gun Works only allowed Remington to market the guns as "Parker" and not Parker Brothers. We do see grip caps, buttplates and barrel ribs marked as Parker Bros. on guns sold well after the 1934 date of the sale but only until the supply of those parts ran out.

"PARKER" will be engraved on guns after the Remington acquisition. It is not a customer request. Remington era Parkers are fine quality and are coveted by Parker shotgun collectors.
