I inherited a Parker Brothers side by side 10 gauge. I'm trying to learn the grade or model. It has 32 inch Damascus barrels. It has hammers. There is a shield on the top of the stock, but i can't see anything on the shield because of wear. On each side there is a dog and a couple of birds. on the bottom there are two pheasants by a fence. The serial number is 27596. under the barrel there is a 3 above the serial number. Behind the trigger guard, there is a letter engraved with the serial number behind it. i can't really make out the letter because of wear. It kind of looks like an "A", but it also looks like an "N". I hope somebody can help me out to identify this.
Grade 3, later referred to as a D grade. The letter is an N, a prefix that probably refers to "Number". According to a serialization reference, 32 inch barrels were original to the gun.
