The gun is a GH-Grade with an 0-frame. 102754, was from well before the replaceable bolt-plate of 1910 design. So, the fact that it has the new style bolt and bolt-plate is a big clue that it was returned to Meriden sometime after 1910. The fact that the barrel address is "Conn." rather than "CT, U.S.A." suggests before 1918.
Methinks it would be well worth your time and money to join the PGCA and order a research letter on the gun. A straight-grip hammerless 20-gauge Parker is a desirable gun, probably worth a quality restoration.
