Default Looking for 8 gauge info

I'm looking for some information on Grade 2 hammerless 8 gauge guns. These guns, made between 1889 and about 1910, were called "Quality EH" in the price lists. Parker didn't sell GH's in 10 gauge, they made them in the EH grade which was equivalent to the GH but at $5.00 more. For the EH grade in 8 gauge they tacked on an additional $35.00 charge plus, in some cases, an additional charge for extra long barrels.

My question is; does anyone have a Grade 2, 8 gauge gun manufactured between 1889 and about 1910? If so, how is your water table marked, GH or EH? I'd like to get as many responses as possible.

Thanks,

Chuck
