Just received my "Parker Pages Journal" and learned the earliest 12 gauge hammerless reported was gun #55845. My earlier assumption that today's find was a "fairly early" hammerless has been confirmed. I also learned the earliest Parker on a 1-1/2 frame was #83000. My GH 1-1/2 is #84807, also reasonably early one. My new membership is paying dividends already.
