The Grade 1 is also known as the P Grade in gauges up to 12 ga.

In the hammer guns wasn't a P-Grade a Quality 1 with pistol grip up to 12-gauge and it would be a Q-Grade if it had a straight grip? Similarly the N-Grade would be a 10-gauge with a pistol grip and an O-grade a 10-gauge with a straight grip?
These hammer gun letter grades in Quality 1 seem to be very confusing.
The Parker Story lists them as being I, K, L or M and N, O, P or Q; and then lists the Quality 0 hammer guns as being R, S, T or U. By the turn of the century the only Twist barrel hammer guns in the blue catalogue are R, S, T and U. Later just R and T and finally only T-Grade.
