I don't think I would refer to 1939 as part of the "transition" period which most would consider to be in the late 1933 - early 1935 period as it pertains to how Parker Bros. and Remington Arms frames and barrels were marked immediately before and immediately after Remington took ownership of the Parker shotgun operation. Clearly, the barrels Chuck shows us indicate that Remington had made 'a' decision as to how they intended to mark their ribs and barrel flats. Remington even made another change to how the ribs would be marked in the future.... and that was not to mark them at all.
