Remington Date Codes on Damascus Parkers

[B. Dudley]

The date codes just mean that Remington did some sort of repair on the gun. Could be any type of service. There is no reason why Remington would not have done service on Damascus guns.

Thank you Tom, Chuck and Brian, I was in North Idaho when your thread came up and I mised it. I found it a most interesting read today.

Gun Broker auction # 316792994 (damascus Gun) Was also repaired by Remington Parker. My question to this board is How often do you see a Damascus parker with Remington repair codes on the damascus barrel flats???

In the 1950s an east cost educated Lawyer name of Ben Davis lived in my town. He shot a damascus DH Parker, his favorite load was the 1 1/4 Oz load of winchestrer #4s. He shot the gun very well, and I just accepted the fact that Parker damascus guns were okay to shoot.
