Grade 1 guns I, K, L, M, N, O. P, Q

[Dean Romig]

I know exactly what you’re saying. My two daughters used to do it without being asked but now that they and their families live in NH it’s just me with some help from Kathy.

Our youngest daughter (45) was thoughtful enough to contact the Senior Center here in town to see if they knew of any young high school kids who could help us with that. They put us on the list... but we’re still shovelling.

The numerical Grades were used in the factory. The letter Qualities were used at the retail level.

However, by the 1920s terminology was in flux. In the 1925 catalog Parker Bros. uses Quality some places, Grade other places with the letter designations, and many places just the letter designations. In the 1927, 1929 and 1930 catalogs I have the guns are listed as PARKER B.H.E., PARKER TROJAN, etc.

By the Remington era they were using the term Grade with the letter designations.
