We’re looking at a Grade 1 Parker, not a Grade 2.
I think I see 41885 on the water table and it should have a straight grip and 32” Twist barrels as indicated by the T with a crescent above and below. The 4 lb., 8 oz. is the weight of the barrels before “striking” (filing to desired weight, balance and contour). It appears to be in decent condition but you should post more pictures of all aspects of the gun.
The thing that makes or breaks a gun of this age is the condition of the barrels - bores and wall thickness.
