A "talk with Remington in 1990 or 1991" would have little to do with today's Parker world. In 1997, and even earlier, Remington opened their archives to the authors of The Parker Story and to the PGCA Research Team for serious research. I also think all this talk about missing records is unfair to those who are being discussed. If you want to know about your Parker, order a PGCA letter of provenance. If the records on your gun are missing, you get your money back. Bill M.
