Yes, the rarest .410 Parkers are capped pistol grips. By the way, many of us refer to the "half pistol grip" as a relaxed curve to the pistol grip, not a round knob grip. Brownings with a round knob are referred to by collectors as a "round knob" grip, which is more correct than "ball grip" or "half pistol grip".

Bill Murphy's resurrected thread regarding the Gold Hearts gun has a research letter on a wonderful DH noted to have been ordered with a "ball grip."

Garry, Gerald's mention of the Annie Oakley gun on page 40 of the serialization book is, like the Gold Hearts gun, a standard round knob gun ordered as a "ball grip". Neither of those guns are the bulbous "ball grip" of the early hammer gun style.
