Over the years, I have seen a fair number of Parker Bros. miscues. I have often wondered about the vaunted Parker quality control. I have come to the conclusion that if the gun was not of the highest grades (A, AA, or A1S), guns with cosmetic errors would be released for sale. I own a hammerless P grade 8 gauge that has the whole barrel logo double struck, close to a 1/16" off. This gun was special ordered with ivory sights, a Silvers pad, and special length barrels. The gun was over a$100 in 1909, yet it was released as is.
