Default Guns with the "O" prefix

What is the earliest parker with an "O" prefix, when did they start to show up? I know they used "B" "A" "C" on some guns. This is a nice little 12gauge chambered for the 12-B shell,It has Decarbonized Brls, measures 1-1/8 between the firing pins, Ser # 029, a few photos, Gary

I have a wild guess about the prefix guns, Were the O prefix done during a certain time period and the A during a certain period, same with the B and so on. I have A1943 which is a 32" Damascus 12 bore Back Action, O Prefix up to Ser# 1000 and A Prefix up to Ser 2000 B up to Ser 3000, give me some feed back, and lets put some numbers out of early back action guns, Gary
