Dean, did you refer to the 2010 thread that one poster mentioned? I seem to recall that some previous research pointed to some composite barrels that were actually forged at Parker Brothers. Do you suspect that the P mark is used on those Parker manufactured composite barrels?

[edgarspencer]

Correct me if I'm wrong, Perfesser, but none of those in the bible appear to be what you are referring to in your quest for knowledge.

[Dean Romig]

In response to Bill's question - Yes, that is my suspicion and I'm trying to get enough data on these guns to be able to nail it down to it being a very high probability that Parker Bros., in fact, manufactured the composite barrels with the P stamped on the right barrel flat without a circle around it, or crescents, or a diamond... just a P by itself.

In response to Edgar's question - Correct, the P by itself without any other mark surrounding it does not appear on that table on page 581 in Volume II of The Parker Story.... or anywhere else that I can find.

Dean, Dave, Here's a pic of the flats of 206850. Definitely 2(G) grade. I have not seen Rem codes like this before; they were smaller font and up close to the lug.

[Autumn Daze]

Thanks Fred. That is how my GHE is marked also.

[Dean Romig]

We more often see the Remington codes closer to the lug but that's a good reference picture.

Thanks, Dean

The location of the Remington stamp may be due to the fact that it was done post-WWII (1953) and the previous location of stamping may have been lost during, or because of the war effort.
