I assume Dan did it. He owns a publishing company. I don't know which original he used.

I'm pretty sure Daniel did or had it printed through the publisher who does his printing of magazines, books, prints, et.c.

the PH 10 I sold a while ago here lettered as an NH -
144964 02.jpg

I would suggest that that Order Book No. 73 does not state it is a Quality NH. Order Book No. 73 very likely lists something like 1 - 10/32 Twist PG Hammls and from that the author of the letter interpreted Quality NH not taking into account the time period. The letter also states the price of $65 and when the Quality NH was actually being used it was $70.

Letter on my Quality NH from 1894 --

listing the $70 price.

Parker S/N 144964 is technically a PH, not an NH. The 1905 catalog still shows the NH at $70.00. I don't have a 1906 catalog. The 1907 catalog dropped the NH line so all the grade 1 guns were PH's for $65.00. If the owner of 144964 want's a corrected letter, let me know.

I don't have many Parker Bros. catalogs, but after the circa 1900 "Blue Ink" catalog which is the only one I have that shows the Quality NH, this allegedly 1901-02 which introduces automatic ejectors doesn't.

Just $65 and the $105 for the 8-gauge.

Cornell Pubs is offering this same catalog on ebay and saying it is circa 1910 --

I suspect they have a 1 and a 0 transposed.

I found a place online that sells Parker reproduction catalogs for $15 and they have a 1902 one , I should buy some I suppose would be interesting to have a few different ones .
