Grade is different on barrel than the stock with same serial number

[Rich Stearns]

After owning this gun for 50 years I have finally retired and have time to look into it. It seems my gun has a stock that has an 8 on it and the barrel a 7, the barrel is also marked with the Parker Pearless logo. Both have the same serial number. I figure someone on the site will know.

Show us a picture of the full barrel flat under the right barrel which is where the grade stamp would normally be. Or you can just look I suppose. Is there possibly an 8 stamped there?

[Rich Stearns]

No it is stamped 7

Here are the stamps

Rich there is an 8 stamped on the right barrel flat. It is faint but it is there, look closer.

[Double Lab]

Good eye Randy.

[Spin Drift]

Holy Hoarding Batman, you've had that for 50 years and are now looking into it.

[Larry the Gun Guy]

Rlch; you’ve gotta show us the wood on that gun and all the engraving. This is too much suspense. Good, square on pictures are what would be appreciated. No goofy angles. And while you’re at it the engraved skeleton butt on that as well.
