Hey all

[Dean Romig]

Congratulations Mark. 56296 was the first hammerless Parker made and the early hammerless engraving motifs were very interesting. May we please see some pictures of yours?

Dean, That would be 55,295 a g grade and 55,296 is a D grade

In looking at the records I believe you mean 55296 was the first.
Being that there a hundred or so missing numbers before that number, there could be on earlier, but that is what the "book" says.

As a sidebar, I have number 56186 in my parts bin.
It is a 1 frame hammerless GH 12g. It is not in the book, but based on what is, it would have been between the 40th and 50th hammerless gun built.

Yup, you got me there Brian - but Dave already corrected me on that.
