Angel, that's perhaps the highest quality grade 5 I have ever seen. It's just as well I wasn't there, or I'd have some 'splainin to do'

There was also a 250 Dollar Grade, but in my simplistic opinion, the B was nicer.

After studying that grade 5 (studying is a polite way of saying I was looking at it like I used to look at Playboy) I discovered something I don't like about it, and now feel SO much better for not being the winning bidder. I guess it's just me, but I never really liked Prince Of Wales pistol grips.

Come on guys, there must be more than just three people that own hammer guns. One of the above is mine, one Angel's, then the others from a good friend who over the years has owned many.

Some other people own some very nice guns.

Here is an A grade:

In my opinion that is not a Prince of Wales grip ('semi' or 'half' pistol grip) but is a true "Pistol Grip" (not to be confused with a "Capped Pistol Grip") or on earlier Parkers, the range of which this gun is correctly in, a "Ball Grip" but the pictures in the Julia catalogue do not allow the correct angle to make the "Ball Grip" determination.
