Simply by the fact that it's a 1917 gun with what appear to be either Twist or Laminated barrels. At that time the only guns Parker normally produced with those barrels were the Grade 1 or PH guns.

Muzzles do not look flat, ivory bead is installed to far back , more soldier than keels, flat on top rib is easy to duplicate with 4oz. hammer and a half round file, barrels do not touch at the muzzle, and I have seen many Parker barrel lengths vary up to 1/8" but never 1/4".

Kinda unusual for you getting down to 2/3’s of a yardstick

I thought I read in The Parker Story that if a barrel was within a 1/2 inch of the recorded length than it was most likely original. I have barrels on 2 my Parkers that are 1/16 to 1/8 over the recorded length and one that is 3/16 under the recorded length. The termination line on the shorter length looks very similiar to yours with probably less than 1/16 of a inch from the line to the end of the barrel.

Randy that's original in my opinion. I own a 32 " gun that measures 31 3/4" and still has the termination line with a normal blank space. This gun was made in 1917 and maybe DD barrels were impossible to source due to WWI, so PB used what they had to finish a gun??
