The right barrel flat is stamped with the grade. “All” Parkers of grade 3 and higher have the gradecstamped on the right barrel flat. This one has the 6 stamped about halfway down the flat right above the order number.
Depending on the barrel length this gun is among the 20 in 12 gauge with Damascus Steel barrels. None (ZERO) at all are shown with Laminated Steel barrels, making this gun as possibly unique.
