The guns of that era weren’t given model grades. They were called dollar grades, based on the amount they sold for. That was determined by the type of barrel steel, checkering and engraving. But your gun does look like it would be the equivalent of the later called grade 1.
A lower grade but still a very nice gun. As with Parker’s of any time period the remaining original condition plays a big a factor in todays value. Your gun could be worth more than a bit higher grade that has less condition. Someone here with greater knowledge of these early guns will be able to give you an estimate range of value, but that really needs to be done with a hands on evaluation. After being checked out by a competent gunsmith and shown to be a good shooting condition it will make a nice gun to shoot and collect. You’ll want to start with correct length and velocity/pressure ammunition.
