Default Question about the grade of y Parker

I checked the page on identifying Parkers and I'm a little confused about mine. On the watertable above the serial number is a number 2 and below the serial number is the letter G (see photo). I didn't see a letter G in the list of grades, only GH. Would this gun be a GH?

Yes, it is a GH, GHE if it has ejectors.

Thanks. It does not have ejectors. What does the number 2 mean?

I already did, but was confused about G vs GH.

Technically a G grade is a hammer gun grade 2, and a GH is a Hammerless grade 2. “H” is for hammerless.

I'm going to be taking my Parker up to Bill Schwarz in Ellijay, Ga soon. I just want a Parker SxS expert to look it over and advise me on it. I'm not wanting to restore it as I believe that will devalue the gun. But I want an expert opinion on what if anything is wrong with it, is it safe to shoot (with proper loads), and where can I get the proper ammo if I decide I want to shoot it.
