Default Guess the Grade

So what grade do you think this is?

I'll leave the guesses to gather for a while.

Wish I had a "B" in my hands to really look at, as I didn't think them that engraved....but I'd guess an "A?"

Okay I'll bite....Small bore C Grade with a vent rib. But that top lever looks very B'ish to me.

OK folks, its an AHE 20ga. Well we all learned early on that B's had one curved rib around the breech balls, A's had two. THen we learned that the 28ga's in A's and B's often didn't have any, but here's a 20 without ribs.


So that's all for a while. A few of us were thinking that the forum needed a little boost , a little interest in Parkers, so you see I posted a few things today.

I have a Trogan double full on full there is a CV on the botom of the barrels--out on the end is a plain 2. the serial number is 167142. What grade is this shotgun? Someone took all of the bluing off the barrels, however it is in top mechanical condition with great shining bore. Can one of you real Parker guys tell me a little about this gun? It has a great history and I have the original purchase tags that came with the gun. Thank You.
