I would suggest you go to the "Parker Grades" web page and look at the lifter information & pictures there to get familiar with lifters.
If the shield "is" gold the gun will be a high grade gun but more probable it is a silver shield used on lower grade Parker's that looks gold simply because the stock finish has aged to make it appear gold.
Look over the Parker Identification web page too. The markings on the water table and barrels will tell you what you are looking at even on lifters.
If you are new to Parker shotguns, the links off the main page have a lot of material that will help you learn about them.
