Guess the Grade, Part 2

For those interested in seeing guns.

Looks like an unshot Grade 2. Beautiful.

Grade 2. I have one just like it, but, sad to say, not "quite" tat good condition. I have 2 guns that carry the number 526 but do not know what it signifies. Beautiful gun.

I don't know the grade but I know the condition. That is the best condition of any antique hammergun I have ever seen.

Thanks for posting it Bruce.

Best,

Mike

Would Grade 2 have sculpted bolsters?

Of course, we are not some kind of new person for whom the thoughts of any experienced Parker collector would be taken as an absolute. These early guns blurred the lines between grades, and grade was also dependent upon gauge. This is a 10 guage, which makes a difference. I know what it is considered to be and will post that later.
