The engraving on that gun is really superb! And the rabbits on the bottom are an interest choice for a critter. I have not seen too many examples of rabbits engraved on Parkers.
The birds on the side right on top of the scroll is and interesting treatment as well. Usually on A grade guns, the game will be pretty hidden amongst the scroll, but usually they are not as large as those birds on that gun.

When it comes to high grade Parkers, A grades will usually be loaded with game. AA grades will have much less game and more use of relief engraving. And A1s will very rarely have any game at all.
