That is Todd's A grade lifter. Rare, rare, rare., and that one is a great gun and a wonderful survivor.
For the person who is not familiar with these hammer Parkers, you might sometime just sit and fondle one, work the action, shoot it. They are works of art, and especially so with the high grade ones. The lifter action is particularly ergonomic and smooth .
They are hard to find in decent condition and most of us Parker collectors would strongly consider appropriately restoring a higher grade one if found in poor condition. However, nice ones, even small gauge ones, are out there.
