Gary, those are some very unusual engraving features - the engraved extractor (first one I've ever seen), "Parker Brothers" rather than the usual Parker Bros. normally engraved on the lock plates, and the style and execution of the scroll engraving is quite unusual as well. Is that style referred to as "arabesque"? A very neat Parker for sure! Is this one from the collection you just bought?

Is there any unusual treatment of the breech faces?... gas vents, for instance?
