Need help with my Parker Gun

[Dean Romig]

I'll toss in my 2 cents here and disagree with both and say it is a GH. The latch has the engraving of a Grade 1 or 2 but not a 3 (or DH). The oval is clearly visible but my first impression was of birds rather than a dog, Damascus barrels would be appropriate for a GH but a PH would have Twist barrels, Further, it has a dog's head butt plate, not a skeleton, and it does not have drop points behind the stock cheeks.

Anyway, that's my opinion.

Earth to Dean, who is "both" ? Not Rick, and I agreed with him that it was not a V grade, saying I thought it was a GH, after cleaning my glasses.
I tried the the control-click, but they wouldn't enlarge.
