Pete, that statement is correct except that D grades did not have Acme steel barrels, which the statement implies.
The issue is whether as Brian mentioned that the D is the first "Quality" Parker, as if the G and lower grades weren't. Nothing supports that statement. The better statement is that the D has many details considered desireable by collectors, is considered a mid grade Parker and was frequently ordered with custom features.
One of our top collectors had a fabulous and full collection of high condition P grades in every gauge. Do we walk by and dismiss those as not being considered "Quality" Parkers?
