Don't get me wrong I like the high grade Parkers just fine , but I understand I cannot own them as easily (cost or availability wise) as the V or G/E grade guns . So with that being said a set of EH/GH guns in 8 , 10 , 12 , 16 , 20 , 28 and 410 would suit me just fine . Of course I'd need a pair or trio of EH guns in different configurations to be totally satisfied

55,295 is considered the first hammer less gun made. It's a g grade gun. 55,296 is a d grade and I know it,s whereabouts 😉

Got the letter on it today, that was quick Chuck, was ordered on April 8 and delivered April 9, 1890 to A. B. F. Kinney of Worchester, Ma, which like most of these guns appears to have been a hardware/general store.

All the numbers match up.
