I am new to the forum and new to Parker shotguns. I picked up my first Parker. I know it's a 10ga., manufactured 1884, (sn#38597), twist barrels, and a #3 frame. But I need assistance with the grade.
Also I have deciphered the barrel markings as such;
Crescent T = twist
5 12 = weight
J = What?
3 = frame
JS = John Stokes
9 = What?
So I need help understanding the J and 9, and what is the grade?
