Ever see a letter before the serial number

[Gary Weaver]

Ever see a letter before the serial number on the trigger guard extension?
Example N107xxx

On graded guns.

Thanks Bob.. I did not know that..

[Greg Baehman]

Actually, isn't it "No.", the abbreviation for number in front of the S/N on the trigger guard?

[Dave Suponski]

I have had a couple of Vulcan grade guns with the"No" prefix. Both guns were made right around 1900.

[paul stafford jr]

yea , somebody wrote the word "no" on all my trigger guards to, I wish they would have fired that guy before he did to all old guns

[Dean Romig]

Yup, it is the stylized No for number. The right vertical upstroke of the N bisects the "superscript" o.

[Mills Morrison]

My most recent Parker is B1217. Not sure what the B means. It is obviously a very early one

[edgarspencer]

All my hammerless Parkers have 'No.' preceeding the sn on the tang. None of my hammer guns have it.

[Dean Romig]

I've seen it on some later higher grade hammer guns.
