That GH was designed for smokeless, proofed and patterned with smokeless powder by Parker, and likely has never shot black powder Smokeless powder quickly became favored over black powder by 1900, and by the mid 1890's many matches were requiring the use of smokeless powder.

Many Parker patterning tags from 1891 on show use of Wood's powder , a bulk smokeless, as the powder used.
