Aaron, I have to agree, It appears to be a grade 2, or possibly a Hundred Dollar grade. I would suggest you join the PGCA and post a want for a pair of hammers. You're as likely to find a pair as a single, but getting a pair will insure they are matching.
Lifter actions are a real pleasure, and since yours is a 12, you would find it's a very friendly, and fun gun to shoot. There are plenty of good stock people here who would be able to scarf in a piece around your right lock plate.
I find it interesting that the script on the rib reads opposite from most later Parkers, and that your rib isn't engraved. All in all, you've got a gun well worth tidying up.
