I think Dave is just getting warmed up. He and most Parker researchers know that Remington considered buying Fox shotguns in the forties, remarking them Parker, and selling them as such, without barfing. Yup, guys are paying the big buck for Tony's guns and are very happy about it. Tony, contrary to what has been suggested by a poster, has made Model 21s marked with Winchester's name, and he charged more for them. He must have some rights to use the W name. As a final point, I think anyone who wanted to "avoid the middle man" on the AAHE Parker's pricing need only to wave his checkbook in front of either Remington or Galazan and the price will come tumbling down. Just my suspicion, of course.
