Mark, I can show you plenty of photos of Parkers with deer or elk on the bottom plate, but I have nothing that has deer or elk on the side panels. Others may help out.
I don't know the implication of your question. Are you trying to determine originality or seeing how uncommon is the engraving? Is this your gun?
A grades varied widely in engraving subjects. Big game animals were common Parker engraving subjects in the high grades. As there was no standard engraving in the A grades, a person should look at each A as unique.
