I think you could narrow it down pretty closely by knowing who the chief engraver was at the time that the gun was made. It's all in The Parker Story.
Sure, they may have contracted somebody outside of the usual Parker Bros. contractors but in this case, I doubt it - we have seen this engraver's art before on the nicer Parkers.
