I'm new to the site and have been looking for a source where I can see all of the standard parker engraving patterns. Does anyone here know where I can find this?

[Big D]

Go to the Parker home page (http://parkerguns.org), and click on "Parker Grades" on the left hand side. There are descriptions of each grade, and pix too!

Magnificent, I believe that is referred to as the lily pattern.

[Dean Romig]

There are more than just lilies in those engravings and I've always heard it referred to as a "Floral Pattern".

[ForrestArmstrong]

There's a similar pattern on a repro for sale on GI now.

I'm anxious to hear the answer to that question. This is what an A-1 Special should look like.
