First Parker firearm, some ID questions

[Researcher]

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.

Andy, the light weight you refer to is the unstruck barrel weight, not the total weight of the gun, which is only confirmed by the scale, not any markings on the gun itself.

Joke's on me, got it and thank you! I mistakenly thought he weighed the gun.
