I'd be more than happy to move it to the gun forum, not sure how, unless I just repost it? As far as the grade, it has a DH on it, Hope the pictures can show it. It may be a D, because the H is smaller and up, and to the right of it just a little. I'm having a hard time getting good pictures of the letters, will have to try tomorrow. It has a 32" barrel.

The forend checkering pattern is that of a Grade 2 or G grade. The engraving could be Grade 1 or Grade 2. This gun was made in a period before a grade level engraving theme had been adopted. Note the lack of birds engraved in the lock plates, a standard feature on later Grade 2 Parkers.

the D on the barrels is for the Damascus in the barrels
grade is marked on the watertable - the flats of the action

I am going to get a letter on this gun, but not sure about butt plate descriptions, and forend descriptions.

Those look original - a steel butt plate and a keyed splinter forend.

Dean, Where do you see a keyed fore end? I see a Deely latched fore end.

You're right Edgar - what the heck was I looking at to come up with that????
It is definitely a Deely style latch, not keyed. Nonetheless, it looks original. .
