The point is that there is reasonable doubt that the entire extant Parker records are available for research.Remington employees told me that they,meaning Remington, did not want to get involved with the legal hassles that they foresaw if the Parker records were made public. They changed their mind,but they only had part of the records to make public.I agree that some of the people involved in this are no longer here to give their side of the story. I also think that none of this takes anything away from the skill of the Parker employees or the value of the guns they created,whether in 1890 or 1977.Let the "lost" records surface,if they do exist,and let the guns stand on their own merits.
