I've handled that one. I believe it used to belong to one of our esteemed members until he liquidated his D hammerless collection. 121474 is on the 0-frame.
It is a magnificent Parker that I wish was in my collection.
Actually it is 1 of 6 with 26" barrels.
I have the same gun but with 24" original Damascus barrels and is the only 24" Damascus barreled 28 gauge of ANY grade made by Parker Bros. and it isn't listed in that table on page 291 of TPS. It is in the 28-gauge section at the end of Vol II, as well as in the Serialization book but is listed with 28" Damascus barrels in both, which is unfortunately incorrect. I have the letter that supports what the gun actually has for barrels.
But again, the RHO gun is magnificent!
