Thanks. The LOP is 15" w/ a 3" drop at the heel (whatever all that means?). What is and where can I find the "floor plate". I would be happy to post other pics. I'm a hunter not a gun guy I guess. This gun was purchased new by my great-grandfather, passed on to my grandfather and then on to me.

The floor plate is the space in front of the trigger guard with the two screws next to each other. It should have some nice engraving there. Welcome and enjoy your Parker.

Please take some more of the floor plate, put you new camera setting on micro and we can see better. Maybe use another light source rather than flash

Like I said, I'm not a photographer. Here's another try at it.

If you're are one of the 3 or 4 worst photographers in the world, then I gotta be in the top two!

Interesting . . . a grade 4 Parker has five birds on the floorplate - a grade 3 has four birds on the floorplate - but a grade 2 has two birds. For such a rigid engraving motif, e.g., the number of birds for the particular grade you would think there would be some clue as to why - but I don't understand it.
