Question about the grade of y Parker

1 Attachment(s)

I checked the page on identifying Parkers and I'm a little confused about mine. On the watertable above the serial number is a number 2 and below the serial number is the letter G (see photo). I didn't see a letter G in the list of grades, only GH. Would this gun be a GH?

Yes, it is a GH, GHE if it has ejectors.

Thanks. It does not have ejectors. What does the number 2 mean?

Grade 2. For more info see “Parker Grades” section on the home page.

I already did, but was confused about G vs GH.

Technically a G grade is a hammer gun grade 2, and a GH is a Hammerless grade 2. “H” is for hammerless.

I'm going to be taking my Parker up to Bill Schwarz in Ellijay, Ga soon. I just want a Parker SxS expert to look it over and advise me on it. I'm not wanting to restore it as I believe that will devalue the gun. But I want an expert opinion on what if anything is wrong with it, is it safe to shoot (with proper loads), and where can I get the proper ammo if I decide I want to shoot it.

Post some more pictures and our experts will be able to alert you to anything the might be worrisome. But, it will not substitute for the gunsmith checking over.
