The earliest hammerless Parker Bros. serial number in the order books is 55295, ordered in December 1888. The authors of The Parker Story state they examined 55348, 55755, 55892, 55916, 56208 & 56296. I own 56213.
The Grade 2 hammerless guns in 12-gauge and smaller were Quality GH, while the Grade 2 10-gauge guns, which cost $5 more were called Quality EH.
