My first Parker was PH with twist barrels that was shipped May 24, 1916 at a cost of $ 47.75. I think that cost of PH was $27.00. The purchaser liked great wood. Often wondered why not add a few dollars more and buy 2 PH guns without the upgraded wood.

Huh? From its introduction in 1890, until WW-I inflation set in, the List Price of a PH-Grade was $65.00 --

According to a 1906, Wm. Read & Sons catalog, the actual Net Price of a PH-Grade was $48.75, as was the price in the 1902 Sear, Roebuck & Co. catalog. On the West Coast, the 1907 Wm. H. Hoegee Co. catalog shows the PH-Grade with a list price of $65 and a Net Price of $50.
