Thanks, I was curious because the letter for my 1907 VH shows the cost as $50, while the letter for my 1916 PH shows the cost as $27. It was ordered by a retailer in NY, so maybe their was a discount.

There was discounts for dealers. My DH, the $100 gun, cost the dealer in Watertown, NY approximately $68. I believe dealers and distributors made more gross profit on Parker guns than Parker Bros. did.

That's cool, my Trojan was sold for 19.00 and retailed for 25.00 in 1913.

As the country went through The Great War we also went through a great inflationary spiral. By the 1923 Parker Bros. catalog the price of a PH was up to $83 and the PHE $104.
