Gary, shoot us some serial numbers and markings from your 3 1/2" ten and see if we can give you some opinions. I am still looking for some evidence of pre-Remington 3 1/2" Parkers. If our organization would come loose of some of its research material, we would have this information. This is what is known as "The Black Hole of Curatorship". We have the stock books to do this research, but the Board of Directors will not allow anyone to conduct the research. All research is done at the rate of forty dollars a serial number and it is not made available to the members. The Fox Collectors Association is taking the same road. What is your opinion of this situation?
