Dean,
the research letter only listed it sent back in 1913. Nothing on 38. Could this explain the high variance from the original listing of pistol grip, no safety?

There is almost never any information available, even from Remington, about what service a Parker went back to Remington for.

It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to say when it may have been changed from its original configuration to that of today's without actual documentation verifying the change.
