Default Early vs. Late top actions

Thought I would get some opinions on which you guys prefer, the early top action parkers with the lifter style hammers and the steel buttplate versus the later guns with the later style of hammers and the hard rubber buttplate. Personally I prefer the earlier guns because of the contour of the hammers.

Also, when was the first top action gun produced by parker?

Actually there are more than six different styles of hammers and some of the higher grades sport some of the more elaborately contoured or sculpted hammers.

I was referring to the lower grade guns, not the higher grades since the hammers on high grade top actions and high grade lifters can sometimes look quite similar.
