Here are a couple. I have at least one other that I have not photographed yet. I can try to get a cell pic tonight and post it.

On some other makes it was pistol (capped), or half pistol (round knob), or straight. Was Parker not this way?

Yes, Parker Bros. used those terms and sometimes also used the term "round knob".
A great deal of the time we see the half-pistol grip or round knob grip referred to as the POW or "Prince of Wales" grip. This is a misnomer. The only guns that ever had a true Prince of Wales were those made for the Prince of Wales (King Edward) by Churchill to the specs he and the Prince of Wales determined were best. This was told to me by David Trevallion, stockmaker at Purdey of London and currently plying his trade or mentoring a successor in southern Maine. Below is the only Parker I have ever seen with a POW-shaped grip. Note the very slight arc of the grip. .

There was also the ball grip where the end of the grip at the knob was larger than the rest of the grip.
In the stock books, Parker labeled their grips CPG, P.G. or --- (straight) |

Right Chuck and I think we see those almost exclusively on hammer guns, most of the ball grips being on Lifters.

In the hammer gun era Parker Bros. had the distinctly bulbous pistol grip that many collectors call the "ball grip" and many mistakenly apply that term to the half-pistol grips of the hammerless era.
Most Parker Bros. catalogs just state "straight or pistol grip" -- Quality G.H. Blue Ink Catalog.jpeg Quality G.H. Ejector Catalog.jpeg GH & GHE 1923.jpeg January 1, 1930, Parker G.H.E - Parker G.H.jpeg By the Remington era they specify the "half pistol grip -- Parker Skeet Gun, May 17, 1937, grip styles underlined.jpg |
