Hi Kevin:
The 2 on the bottom of the barrel lug indicates the frame size, the number 8 beside it I believe the meaning of it to be unknown, someone else here may know different than I on that. The three numbers stamped on the end of the barrel lug should correspond with the last three numbers of your serial number. The 4-1 numbers on the barrel flats indicate the barrel weight before striking in pounds and ounces. The large D indicates the type of barrel steel used, in this case damascus. Two things, first what happened to the hinge pin in your gun as it appears to be missing. Secondly what is the serial number of your gun and we can see if any research information is available on it. If there are records available you should join the PGCA and order a research letter. If there are not any records available you should still join the PGCA and learn more about your Parker.
