It is a restored gun.
Engraving had been recut. You can see it in a couple of the photos that the walked borders are double cut.
The colors are cyanide type which is not correct for an original Parker gun. And you can see a buffing line on the frame going back from the bolster. This is also proof of refinish. It is said that this is a sign of a Delgrego refinish based on the way they buffed/polished the frames out for coloring. But this is a result of the way the metal prep was done, not specifically who did the work.
But... Given that and the colors, I would wager Delgrego restored the gun.
