Some Terminology Minutia
From the beginning the number designations were Grade and when letter designations were introduced they were Quality. By the 1923 catalog only the A1 Special and AAHE Pigeon Gun were prefaced with the word Quality. The others were AHE, VH, Trojan, etc. By the 1927 catalog Quality is gone and the guns are listed as Parker A1 Special, Parker AAHE, Parker AHE.......Parker PH, Parker VH, Parker Trojan. That remained through the 1934 catalog. Only the large Remington era Parker catalog used the term Grade with the letter designations.
