Maybe look in The Parker Story for that information...?

These masters likely designed the patterns for journeymen to follow for the lower grades and only actually worked on the Grade 5 and higher guns.

Where does Robert P. Runge fit in? I guess he was considered a Remington engraver, not a Parker engraver.

I was asking myself that same question yesterday. I think I should look at TPS again and if necessary make a correction. Okay, I somehow missed mentioning Robert P. Runge; this straight from page 454 of The Parker Story, “Master engraver Robert “Bob” P. Runge who began employment at the Gun Works in 1934…” when the Gun Works was under the ownership of Remington Arms and eventually retired from Remington. .

For Robert P. Runge one wants to see Kevin's The Double Gun Journal article, "When I Paint My Masterpiece" Volume Eleven, Issue 3, page 41.

Did not William Gough at the end of his 1911 Parker tenure-eventually
go to Fox at the beginning of the Godshalk ownership era? The deep-chiseled Teutonic engraving of the XE-DE-FE Grades seems to be the Gough trademark through the 1920s, starting about 1913. Also a Gough spent time with Winchester. |
