There could be several reasons for differences in the sell price of guns of the same grade within a specific period where there was a 'standard' price. This was a period we refer to as the "dollar grade" or "dollar quality." The reasons could be such things as longer barrels or some other feature not considered by Parker Bros. to be standard. Another reason that is sometimes seen is a discounted price, for one reason or another. Often there will be no obvious reason for a small difference in sell price.
