Threads like this one teach me something new each time. Hadn't given any thought to how different the engraving might be among nose pieces of the various Parker grades but for the attention to detail displayed by the gents who have posted photos. Thank you.

Forend Tips
 
I'm continually amazed at the creativity, and artistry, of the Parker Bros. gunmakers, engravers and collectors.

Early lifter Grade 1. No fancy engraving but nice surviving case.

Craig - there is little difference between a Grade 3 and a Grade 4 in features like the forend tip, skeleton buttplate and the execution of the engraving. The Grade 4 has a bit more coverage and a few extra flourishes with the floor plate engraving often done to order. There are, of course, exceptions to this in some of the nicer Grade 4's we have seen here.

Rich, is that the forend tip on "Gunner's Parker"?
