I have a friend who likes to say "you are majoring on the minors". You have a Grade 8 A-1 Special. Or is it A1 Special. Or A#1 Special? I am confused now.

I have also seen A No.1 S written but never stamped that way.

I have what looks like a hand typed Parker price list that includes the terminology "A number 1 grade"

It is all just semantics. Grade 8 hammerless.

A picture of the letter would be of great interest to all of us.

Letter from Parker
I was a bit confused about the A#1 Special but I guess that is just another way to say A1 Special. Here is a scan of the document. Fun to find things like this out. The oiled stock is a cool addition to what I have found out thanks to you on this site. Enjoy.
1926 Parker shotgun, A#1 Special, 12 gauge on a size 1 ½ frame,, Peerless barrels with a length of 30” and 2 5/8 chambers,. Capped pistol grip, #No. 8 grade, single trigger, 30-inch barrel, ejectors, 0iled stock serial number 217264 |
