The Grade 1 gun designation started in 1882. As Parker introduced the named grades they named Grade 1 guns I, K, L, M, N, O. P, Q, NH and PH. The PH and NH describes Grade 1 hammerless Parkers, the other names describe Grade 1 hammer guns. These names were based on various gauge and stock configurations.

The early grade 1 guns had English Twist barrels and in later years Twist Steel and Laminated Steel barrels were used. About 1917, Parker started using fluid steel barrels and marked the barrel ribs with Parker Steel. As can be seen by the production numbers, the Grade 1 guns did not sell as well as the higher priced Grade 2 or the lower priced Grade 0.

The characteristics between the Grade 0 and the Grade 1 were minimal, they had slightly better quality wood and a little additional engraving around the screw heads on the frame.
Ejectors were an option on PH grade. These guns with ejectors (PHE) are desirable to collectors and can add as much as 50% to their collector value.
