Looks like a grade 2, 1878, very nice. The lifters are a ball to shoot and if you really want to have some fun load up some black powder shell.
Hammer guns rule!!!

I agree with Dave about the square corner at the junction of the breech face and the bar. Given the years in my youth as a machinist and metalworker, I find that joint a little hard to look at. However, other experienced Parker guys including myself admit to having never seen one split there. Keep your loads at low pressure anyway. It is truly a nice gun.
