I have a few questions about a new to me Parker
 

Just picked this GHE up from the FFL and looking it over had a few questions about some of the stampings on the water table and barrel flats.
1. I'm wanting to find out what the JG in a circle means (probably an inspector initials)
2. What's the 47 on the top right mean?
3. Next there is a 3 over a D.
4. Also, there is a K.
I know what the other markings are, 3 8 unstruck barrel weight, 12 ga. #1 frame

The J.G. in the oval are Jim Geary's mark. No one left alive knows the meaning of the one-, two- or three-digit numbers we often see in the area of your 47.

I believe the 3 over the D indicates 3-iron crolle Damascus though we sometimes see the D over the numeral.

It appears that the person doing the stamping was having issues with the grade stamp. Looks like one sideways under the one on top.

Hoping the letter can confirm whose initials are on the stock shield.

Wondering why the GH would have been overstamped.

David; I have a new to me Gh Damascus gun that is also a 1 frame with the same barrel weight as yours. It is heavier than I expected at 7lbs 9ozs. What does yours weigh? It has 28in. barrels.

I don’t have a proper set of scales, but approximately 7.5 lbs. on my bathroom scales.

What about the "K" mark?

I was hoping someone would respond about the K mark as well.:corn:
