Action is engraved with full coverage very well cut varying size but mostly large shaded scroll that does not match any known Parker grade. "Parker Bros" is in rectangle on each side. Blued top lever and trigger guard are engraved with matching scroll. S# is on tang. Original Parker capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14 1/4" over silver type pad and features standard checkering and shield on toeline.
