I look at it like this - if Parker Bros had intended there be a Parker O/U, they would have made one.
Chief, I'm not particularly arguing with Ed, just doing some questioning. I haven't met anyone yet who was smart who said they knew it all.
Ed mentions a lot of reading and obscure books I'd probably just spill my chocolate milk on but he didn't actually come and say, "I have read reliable accounts wherein the Parker family urged Remington to buy the Parker Bros name but the Remington folks were too wise for that and declined the name on grounds of avoiding product liability". If he says he has then I'll believe him.
"Expert" is a dangerous tag to hang on anyone....
