Jeff,

here is another post with pics of the D grade I bought last fall. It was made in 1899 so around the same time period as yours.

I don't have any pics of the forearm on there, but lots of pics of everything else.

Dean, the sides show the same as my DH 12. Just kind of normal.
Bill, your link didn't show.
I'm really just trying to learn about Parkers and the variances in each. Not trying to glorify a particular gun.

No one thinks you are. Just sharing info.
