That looks like a grade made up by the engraver that did the work.

I bought a BH last year that was in rough condition too, but it cleaned up nicely. You would be amazed what a good cleaning will do.

It is not an “upgrade”. It does not accurately emulate any specific grade of Parker gun. The engraving is a somewhat amateurish attempt at a custom gun. Too bad the quality of the engraving does not match that of the wood work. The wood looks decent.

The engraving of the 7-8 strutting turnips on the bottom is a bit different for a B grade.
