Right, there were no hammerless Parkers in the 1870's.

Yes, my little baby is in the 70,000 series, made in 1892. According to the SB, it is a real early hammerless 20. 71,179 was ordered January 15, 1892 by Salem G. LeValley in Buffalo, NY. It is a PH 20, 28" barrels bored full and full. By 1915, it was in Salisbury, MD and was sent back for a restock. It was still in Maryland when I found it. LeValley was a gun and sporting goods dealer in Buffalo, died in 1903 at age 61.
