Thanks a lot for posting the album of pictures. What you are looking at there is a P grade. Not a V grade. It is an earlier gun that would have originally had twist barrels. And the Fishtail top lever was not uncommon on these guns.
The receiver has cyanide type case colors. Much like how Delgreco would restore them.
The barrels are not Vickers made like the ones that I have on my P grade. They are original Parker Damascus barrels that have been cut off at the monoblock and then sleeved with new Vickers tubes.
The grade and guages markings on the sides of the locking lug are indicitive of later Remington made Parkers.
This gun has a LOT of extra stampings and markings. Many look like proof and identification marks from when the barrels were sleeved.
What is the asking price on the gun? If all is functional and the price is under $1,500 I would say that it is a diecent buy for a shooter.
