Hi Drew,
As Francis suggested, detailed photos of all markings on the:
1. Receiver watertable
2. Barrel flats
3. Barrel recoil lug (this is the frame size)
4. Muzzles
5. Top rib between muzzle and bead sight
6. Any engraved areas and close ups of the screwheads
7. Also, please measure the barrel length exactly.
8. What gauge is it? Probably a 10 or 12 gauge since it is an early Lifter action
9. Provide the serial number. We can check it in the Serialization and Indetification Book. Not all serial numbers are in the book however.
10. Describe the gun accurately to include:
a. Bore condition
b. wood condition
c. tightness of action
d. ???
Your Grade 2 has scalloped breach balls which may not be common. Normally those were found on Grade 3' s and higher.
You may also list the gun on doublegunshop.com and pay only $10 to "Dave" the site owner if the gun sells. I've sold a couple guns there over the years and also bought guns from listings on that site. I also sold a nice Parker to a fellow PGCA member via our For Sale member's section. It is a great feeling to know that my Parker is not another Parkerfile's possession!
Respectfully,
Mark
