John, please tell us the serial number of your Parker.
Del Grego did not necessarily mark all of the guns they worked on.
It has clearly been fired as is evidenced by the primer impact circles on the breech faces.
The stock checkering and the "nose of the comb" look suspiciously like Remington work (which is not a bad thing) and I have a feeling there is a Remington stamp on the left barrel flat close to the lug. Incidentally, the barrel blueing looks like Remington work too... a tad 'frostier' than Parker Bros. rust blueing.
This gun asks some questions and the answers lie in the gun itself through thorough examination.
It looks like a very nice gun and deserves the best stocker you can find.
