I just re-read pages 88-89 of Volume I of The Parker Story, which provided a good overview of the "0" prefix. Seems the consensus is that these "0" prefixes are found on what could be considered lower grade guns. I would agree based on my small sample size of early Parkers.
This gun had to be first year of production in 1869. I am sure this Parker has seen quite a bit over the years. I look forward to getting it right again.
