Actually, isn't it "No.", the abbreviation for number in front of the S/N on the trigger guard?

I have had a couple of Vulcan grade guns with the"No" prefix. Both guns were made right around 1900.

Yup, it is the stylized No for number. The right vertical upstroke of the N bisects the "superscript" o.

My most recent Parker is B1217. Not sure what the B means. It is obviously a very early one

All my hammerless Parkers have 'No.' preceeding the sn on the tang. None of my hammer guns have it.
