My best guess Chris is that it is a Grade 0.

Chris: This is the Parker listing in the 1878 Simmons Hdw. catalog; note no letter designation, which is why guns are referred to as "Dollar Grade". Note actual selling price was less than MSRP



Part of Parker's 1882 price list; now with letters

Thanks Drew.

It's amazing th me that the 'cheapest' or lowest dollar grade was twice as expensive as the 'cheapest' or lowest quality Parker, the Trojan when it was introduced thirty years later in 1912.
