Default No makers identification on frames

Some time ago on this forum there was a discussion about Parkers (transitional guns from Parker Bros. to Remington Parkers) that have NO makers identification engraved on the frame. THE PARKER STORY mentions these type guns on pages 155-156. I wish to reopen that topic and start a list of such guns. I know of three such guns: (1) A DHE 410 ga skeet gun, sn 236223. (2) A CHE 12 ga skeet gun, 28" bbls, sn 236277 (a 2nd bbl set was added by Remington Parker) (3) A VHE 410 ga, sn 236417. I hope others have interest in these Parker oddities and will add to this list! Thanks

Ralph, A friend of mine won the Parker raffle gun years ago, when the meeting was held in Pittsburgh. He has since sold it. If I recall it was a VH grade with no frame markings. Perhaps the PGCA has a record of the gun.

A friend has a very high original condition 16 ga. GHE with no frame marking at all. It also has another very unusual feature in that the hard rubber buttplate has no marking either, yet the grip cap is marker Parker Bros. Meriden Ct. it is also in the 236,ooo serial range.

This is an interesting topic. I think one sold recently at Julia's.
Any others?

This is the GHE 16 I referenced in my previous post, 236199.
I wish I had taken better pictures to show the Robert Runge engraving in more detail.

Has anybody else seen this style of buttplate on an early Remington era Parker? This is only the second one I've seen.
