There are a few nice Parkers and some others that have been harmed by their owners.

There is a 12ga GH damascus; a Parker faithful of which many were made and I feel is one of the great guns.

There is the three foxes AH grade Parker. An interesting gun that has been around. Certainly unusual engraving. I don't know its ownership history but I have seen a number of photos of it over the years.

Yes Bruce, the Fox guns are nice indeed. It will be interesting on how much these go for. I like the GH myself.
Here are the two fox's that I could find.

The G grade listed last in Stephans list is gorgeous. Lots of color, awesome wood and lots of barrel pattern. Looks like it needs nothing more than a good cleaning and checkup. Very pretty. Not that many G grades around cleaner than that one.
