Technically The H in DH is for hammerless. So it would just be a D grade.
And I do not want to be a naysayer, but do we really think that a gun that is likely well over 125 years old is actually unfired? I take it as just a figure of speech? It would be nice to see it.

“Unfired” is a figure of speech - we all know these guns were test fired at the factory. I once owned an “unfired” Parker hammer gun that was so “as new” there were no shell head impact makes on the breech face, the faces of the hammers showed no evidence striking pins, and so on… It was truly as unfired as it could be after it left the factory. .

The gun was as close to new as I have ever seen, and believe me I have had the pleasure to see quiet a few.

As I continue to learn about these guns, the one thing that evades me is "condition." Learning if it was refinished, refurbished, re-$*&#ed up, whatever. I think Randy said he saw a .410 (?) with a high price but not enough "condition." I could be wrong. I'm wondering where the best place is to see as new to original as possible would be? A show like Vegas? A museum?? Call me cynical but I trust fewer dealers the more I get into this. I would have loved to see that gun as close to factory new as described just for the learning experience.

The gun was purchased by a very astute collector- dealer. Like I said, I have never seen a hammer gun in this condition, and I have handled many Parkers when I was in business, as well as prior to that while collecting!I wish I had the chance to buy it!
