Here's a little 1911 16ga.

Parker changed to the grooved, pinned bolt plate in 1910, from the prior 1905non grooved but pinned 1905 bolt plate. This has neither.

Parker started using the new style, lettered grip cap in 1888. This has the old style.

I have another little sub gauge C with front articulated trigger and both front and rear triggers checkered. Sometime I'll post photos of that one. That's another "Parker never did". This little Bernard here, so far as we have been able to determine, is one of two known. About 16 were made, so maybe there are some out there not publicly known.
