GH was a hammerless gun made from 1888 onwards. This gun is not a GH-Grade. The 'H' stands for Hammerless.

Parker Bros. hammer gun grades are a single letter. U was one of the four grade letters for a Quality 0 hammergun. In the hammer gun days, Parker Bros. charged $5 extra for a 10-gauge gun in their lower Qualities and also $5 extra for a pistol grip. So, within Quality O guns there was an R-Grade which was a 10-gauge with a pistol grip and cost $60; an S-Grade which was a 10-gauge with a straight grip and a price of $55; a T-Grade was a 12-gauge or smaller with a pistol grip and cost $55; and a U-Grade gun would be a 12-gauge or smaller with a straight grip with a list price of $50.

I appreciate all the good feedback. You would think that at 29 years young I'd be able to figure these pictures out. I've narrowed my problem down to using this ipad. Tomorrow I'm gonna use an actual camera and load the pictures on a computer. I know then I will get some more answers from some of you guys that have way more knowledge and experience than myself.
