In the last years, G grade Rem Parkers had quail engraved on the floor plate. The Russ C seems to me made by the same hand as the late G quail.

I don't know what to make of the barrel breech wedges. I have not seen that ever on a C, but I know that end of production guns sometimes differed from the norm.

Thanks to all who have sent photos. I'm still looking for more. The larger the sampling, the better the results can be. I recall one author who wrote that C's were just like D's with a border and that was an instance of fooling the public. I suggest that statement could have only been made with inadequate sampling, and I am trying to be as complete as possible.

I agree with Bruce's comment about the "difference". There is a difference between the D and C.

Very true Bruce. Perhaps you have not held and examined Russ' CHE but when you do you will find that it has several features rarely, if ever, seen on earlier C's. The unique checkering on both the stock and forend had us all questioning it's authenticity but with the trigger guard carefully removed - all doubt was removed. The "Jackson Parker" is truly unique among Parkers.
