Grade 2 (GH) Parkers, especially the earlier ones, often had very nice pieces of American black walnut. And more often than not only one side displayed the nicer figure, the other side being a plainer grain.
This example is a 1903 GH 12 gauge with mismatched Damascus tubes. .

And very early GH grade guns could have circasssian walnut on them too. These examples were usually not terribly highly figured. But they could be held on par with some DH grades.

Mine was missing the butt plate and forend when I bought it. I found two forends that fit nicely, one a splinter an the other an aftermarket beavertail. I did the pad installation myself.
I bought the POS gun for $300 in about 2003. These Damascus barrels had been blued and I sent them to Dale to refinish so I could see the Damascus pattern.... I guess that was a mistake too... No reflection on Dale. Maybe Parker Bros had blued them to hide the mismatched Damascus rods... How bout them cyanide tiger stripes huh? . .

The barrels were cut back from 30” to 27” with just a few thousandths of choke. It was a 12 and I shot a lot of Skeet with it.
