That is quite a piece of wood that was put on that gun, I don't think I've seen that quality of wood on any Parker, and I know that had to be costly. The cyanide case colors really make the gun pop.
Here is a C grade smallbore I have that is from about the same year, but its not near as distinctive as yours. Mine is worn and it has those type of damascus barrels that a Parker writer called wallhangers and said devalued the gun. Anyway, its what I have and I kind of like it, as I am sure you are quite proud of yours. Enjoy the gun and have fun with it. Always interesting to see these refinished guns.
I understand C grade guns are going to be the display gun for the PGCA annual meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. I have a few old C grades to bring but all are in at least somewhat worn condition.
