What part of Washington State? I'm near the Idaho border and shoot at the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene gun clubs.

Thanks everyone for the analysis, I will update with better pictures when I can. Since the book seems to be a little off on the Grade would it be worth my time to get a certificate?

Dave, I'm over on the Socialist (Western) side of WA.
My son is a Wildland FF with the Sate over in Spokane, I would love to relocate over to that area. I have another 8 years before I can retire though.

We need to see a picture of the butt plate on this gun.

Here are a few more pictures, including the butt plate and I believe the indicator that indeed does identify this as a Grade 2?

The 2 stamped in the bottom of the lug is the frame size, not the grade.
The screw in the middle of the butt plate indicates a non-original butt plate, or the original has been modified for some reason.
The gaps or vacant spaces under the ribs indicates the barrels have been cut. There should be triangular (cross-section) steel keels soldered in there with no gaps or voids.

Everything else looks original.

Looks like your extractor guide pin may be broken. Or the extractor is mismatched to the gun.

Or, like you said in your opening post "it would be a good eye piece for the gun room wall."

Be sure the left side is exposed to view as the right side has the wrong hammer that is not even of Parker manufacture.
