Nice little article on poor Edward George Parry, and that was certainly a very nice example of the entry-level Parry which was known as the Quality 1 gun. The Quality 2 gun had a slightly shorter frame, and had a rear-acting under-bolt in addition to the Greener cross-bolt. The Quality 2 was available in Twist, Laminated or Damascus barrels -- Quality No. 2 "T", Quality No. 2 "L" or Quality No. 2 "D". There may be a handful of higher grade Quality No. 2 "D" guns as well. Here are a few pics of a Quality No. 2 "L" --
P.S. in the article the listing quoted from the 1892 SD&G catalogue says the No. A has a "... butter butt,..". In my copy of the 1892 SD&G catalogue that is "... rubber butt, ...". In my 1894 SD&G catlogue they still have some No. B and the price is down to $30.
