A#1 Special and A1 Special

[Dean Romig]

Here’s one of those instances where whom it was ordered by is missing… info just wasn’t available to Chuck.

I found A # 1 Special in a 1916 pocket catalog and didn't look in any other catalogs. Early AA grade guns were stamped just "A" on the water table but correctly stamped "7" for the number grade.

So difficult to find a A1Special. I regret selling mine years ago, but it is in a fine collection!

I was in your shop (Ivory Beads) around 2011 and you showed me a 20 ga. Parker and maybe it was an A1 special. You said you'd probably never sell it, but it would be a big number if you did. I can't exactly remember-maybe an AAHE.

Jim, it looks like you are the person I need to talk to.

Much to do about nothing. As Brian said, it's just semantics

I had a gun shop named Ivory Beads, we specialized in fine doubleguns!
