Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Parker started production of the Grade 0 (zero) in 1869. Parker started its grade numbering system at zero to denote the lowest grade made at that time. As Parker introduced the named grades, they named Grade 0 guns R, S, T, U, and VH. Except for the VH, which describes all Grade 0 hammerless Parkers, the other names describe Grade 0 hammer guns based on various gauge and stock configurations. It had Decarbonized Steel barrels in the beginning and later used Plain Twist, Stub Twist, or Plain Steel barrels. The early grade 0 guns were back-action lifter guns and evolved into the front-action lifter. In 1899, the hammerless grade 0 , the VH, was introduced, and it used Vulcan steel barrels. Grade 0 was the mainstay of Parker's production, and the fit and finish were excellent. They have little extra finish in the way of checkering or engraving, and the wood used is plain, straight-grain American walnut. The engraving was a simple border around the frame. The early guns had plain metal butt plates, and later ones had hard rubber dog's head butt plates. The frame, forend iron, and locks were casehardened. Ejectors were an option on VH grade. These guns with ejectors (VHE) are desirable to collectors and can add much more to their collector value.
