I suspect that Parker used partially finished Grade 2 receivers to make Grade 1 and Grade 0 guns. In addition to my Grade 1 with obvious Grade 2 features, I have seen others in the same serial number range as mine with similar features. Two Grade 1s with Grade 2 engraving but with an empty, unengraved circle on the bottom or the receiver were also built with Damascus barrels. The Parker Story does mention a small number of Grade 1 hammer guns with Damascus barrels.
