Since the discussion on this thread has mentioned aftermarket ejectors occasionally, I thought some of the contributors would be interested in what Parker Bros. would charge to add ejectors to there extractor hammerless guns. The prices quoted are from an original flyer issued by Parker Bros. prior to WWI based on the fact they excluded adding ejectors to 8 ga. VH-GH $18.75, DH&CH $19.75, and BH&AH $22.50.

I'm curious as to the difference in cost by grade. Why would ejectors for an A grade cost more than a D grade? Is there something different in the mechanics of the ejectors?

In a word - Salesmanship.

The buying public has always been the same - the perception of a higher quality ejector mechanism for their higher grade gun justified the higher price.
