Hi Chris and welcome! I responded to your post on the other forum and I'm glad to see you coming to the PGCA forum for opinions.
84762 is shown as a Grade 4 or CH with Damascus barrels - however, it is either a misprint or the gun went back to Parker Bros. for replacement Bernard barrels. My opinion is that the "book" is wrong and the gun was most probably made with the Bernard barrels. It is shown to have a capped pistol grip and 30" barrels. Of course the book says nothing about the unusual stock or the sling attachments. Those things might be addressed in a letter which we would urge you to send for. A Parker of that quality was not ordered by any ordinary chicken farmer for predator control and whoever he was, he may well have been a shooter or businessman of some fame and notoriety. Please send for a letter before you do anything to that rare Parker.
