Grade stamp?

[Roberto S Siciliano]

I've determined this hammer gun is a #1 Grade but there's no perceivable stamp on the water table.
Is it common to not be stamped?

[Dave Noreen]

By and large Parker Bros. didn't stamp the 0 or 1 Grade marking on the guns. But, never say never. I have recorded one gun with a 1 stamped above the serial number on the watertable. A gun Dean posted lately.

[Roberto S Siciliano]

So then it could be an O or a P Grade?
I looked at the photos of both grades listed at this site and they pretty much look the same.
I just ordered a Research Letter so I guess that may help me to identify it.

It is listed as a PT (Plain Twist) top lever hammer gun 0 grade in the serialization book.

I’ve seen only that one that Dave mentions.
