Here are a couple of my favorite lifters. The top one is a 12 ga. and the bottom is a 2 frame 10. They are 3 serial numbers apart.

Great stuff. I love hammer guns. The artistry on them is incredible. Thanks for the great pics everyone and keep them coming. It's a good education for all of us that is much appreciated. Here's my contribution. My 1886 10ga. I'll try to add a shot of the floorplate engraving later.

There's a 3 on the rear lug, which I think is the grade #.

Richard,
The 3 on the back lug would be the frame size. It appears to me to have G engraving. The locks look like my 10 ga G.

Rich, I may be wrong but I think the 3 on the barrel lug is the frame size (but that can best be determined by measuring the distance between the firing pins) and, judging by the engraving and the checkering of the forend I would say that is a Grade 2 or G grade.
It is a beautiful Parker in any case and in great condition. Dean
