Ball grips on hammerless parkers?

[B. Dudley]

True "ball grips" were used on pretty much only hammer guns. Some very early hammerless guns also have a similar larger ball grip. Most uncapped pistol grip hammerless guns from the turn of the century forward had ball grips that were smaller or more of a half grip type. Understand what I am getting at?
Basically, hammer guns used a very large round knob grip than hammerless guns.

In my opinion, the uncapped pistol grip on hammerless Parkers is more rate than straight grip guns. Or at least less commonly seen these days.

I have a CHE Damascus barreled 20ga with a ball grip. I believe the serial number is under 100K but I haven't looked at it since the end of bird season....but that's about to change here shortly

Brian brought up a good point. A true "ball grip" on the early guns is more pronounced at the ball end than are the ball grips on later hammerless guns. However, Parker Brothers used the term "ball grip" on the later guns also.
