In the hammer gun era Parker Bros. had the distinctly bulbous pistol grip that many collectors call the "ball grip" and many mistakenly apply that term to the half-pistol grips of the hammerless era.

Most Parker Bros. catalogs just state "straight or pistol grip" --

By the Remington era they specify the "half pistol grip --

Round knobs on hammerless parkers are relatively rare. However, for some reason most all 410 parkers I have seen have them.

Anyway, the obscurity of hammerless round knobs is what drove me to stock my repro A1 in that style. To throw people off the Repro scent, since they were never offered in that configuration. I will be doing another one this way this upcoming year.
