Thanks for all the replies. Here is the best pic I could come up with of the trigger guard and a whole fore end photo. Barrels are 30 inches long and I am ordering a paper for it.

Steven, Wow!!!! Truly an amazing Parker!

How did you arrive at the conclusion that it was a #4 frame? The exact measurement of the distance between the firing pins determines that. Can you give us that measurement?

I think that the buttstock is an old replacement. It is not original to the gun. It appears in much better condition than the forend and it lacks a number of features that it should have for the grade of gun.

A higher grade example of any Parker this early is a special thing.

I don’t know… it’s not sharp enough for my eyes.

I don't remember how I came up with that? Something I came up with when researching the gun on this website but looking through the pictures I cant find what it was. I really am new to these guns. I will measure the distance between firing pin holes when I go over there again.

After closer look at trigger guard I am with everyone else, It's a dog doing something with something standing in front of him, He may or may not have something in his mouth. That's about all I could come up with with my eyes and readers!

Here is some more pics of the wood.

Yes, on the gun before the subject gun was made, SN 4559, it is a dog retrieving a bird with the birds flying by in the background. What are the chances of that, consecutive serial number lifters in a post? Sometimes lightning strikes! :cool:

Thank you Larry. I believe the engraving on both trigger guards are very likely to be the same subject matter. Maybe not exactly, line and scratch for line and scratch, but with the same image in the mind of Mr. Glahn.
