It is a nice looking gun and an excellent first Parker. Congratulations.
As you noted, there is not much case color coverage left on the action frame. I suspect that is carry wear because the gun looks mechanically very sound. Note the broaching or radial file marks on the barrel breech ends. Those are factory finishing marks and wear off as the gun is used and opened and closed. Yours remain distinct. This gun has been cared for and not used until worn out.
Enjoy.
