No. 7 AAH? Early guns were marked as "Pigeon Gun" on the top barrel rib. The first AAH Pigeon Gun SN 79964 was delivered to Capt. Du Bray in 1894 and at that time, it was Parkers highest grade selling for $400 = about $12,000 today. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

"Pigeon Gun" would be a 12-gauge very near 8 pounds, 30- or 32-inch barrels, fairly high dimensions. Other options often ordered for a "Pigeon Gun" would be no safety, high flat rib, no rib extension.... Here are the specs for a couple of guns ordered by a Father and son that were well known Pigeon shooters. A couple of years earlier Noel ordered this Parker Bros. "Pigeon Gun" -- Noel Money ordered a $400 Whitworth gun on Feb.9, 1895. At the time his address was Oakland, Bergen County, New Jersey. The gun was to have 30" barrels, a slender grip, no safety, 2 3/4" chambers, scroll and flowers, no birds, trigger pulls 3 and 4, must be done by May 1. Serial number is 81122 and DuBray took the order. Last edited by Researcher; 10/12/20 09:08 PM.

There is a slot for a safety but it�s plugged. When I pulled the stock I was expecting to find the safety parts in tact, and just missing the safety button. But the stock wasn�t cut for the safety jacket.
