High grade Parkers have certain parts that are factory damascened or engine turned. The purpose is for appearance and to create a surface that will hold an oil film .
There have been amateur gunsmithing articles about how one can do engine turning using a hand held Dremel tool with a polishing cup and abrasive compound. That is what this unfortunate V had done to it. Its hard to tell the depth of the swirls, they can possibly be taken out and the proper Parker look salvaged.
