o grade questions

I have some confusion. [Normal for me ].O grade top lever 10 ga. "TWIST,"32" brls.
ser.#32783 built 1883 . Parker Story says top action without dolls head appeared at ser.#24824 and last one was ser.#25991. Ser.# 32783 has no dolls head. Where have I gone astray in my interpretations of Parker Story info? All #s match,no letter. Thanks in advance for any help.

By 1882 the rib extension was standard on top actions, unless requested without. ( 1882 Parker Shot Gun catalog p. 20)

Herb,

You either have a "Transistion Gun" that is far outside of the normal S/N range seen, or it is a special order. Do you have a letter on the gun?

Some professional or competitive live pigeon shooters preferred their guns without the doll's head extension. A PGCA letter might indicate such a request.
