I would investigate the gun a bit more , im sure you checked to make sure the the bbls and the frame have the same serial#s , I am agreement with others that d grade engraving is a definite detract and I could be wrong , I don't think it will be treated like a double struck coin .
When a collector is buying a gun , particularly a Parker Reproduction if anything you would like to find the B grade with higher grade engraving , and on some original Parkers on rare occasion you would find a D grade gun with an extra duck or some extra engraving on the gun , again this is rare but it did happen , and sometimes a special order gun may have the extra embellishments.
I would say the wrong engraving drives the price down , none the less , this makes it a target for the seller to have to take a lower price , particularly once the news has travelled
and the seller knows what he has , and the item has not sold for some apparent reason.
Good luck on your venture.
