Default What does "Quality R" mean

I received my Research letter today, thank you Mr. Bishop. I have a question regarding Quality R. "According to Parker Bros. Order Book No. 12, it was a Quality R, Top Action Hammer Gun, 10-gauge... Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Darryl

Darryl, it is a page from an early Parker Brothers sales brochure/catalog. Researcher can tell you which year it is.

Just click on it. It will show it is July 1, 1882.

The Double Gun Journal folks are selling in a couple of repro Parker Bros. catalogs - 1882 and 1916.
