It was a popular gun for the owner who wanted a gun with more adornment than the average gun and was willing to pay about $20 more for a gun that looked better and was well-balanced. The Grade 2 had a higher quality of American walnut which has some figures. Most Grade 2 guns have Damascus or Parker Special Steel barrels. They were significantly better engraved than the lower-grade guns. Quail, ducks, snipe, and woodcock are common figures in the engraving of the frame sides and bottom; the forend latch and screw heads are also engraved. The checkering was deeper and finer than lower-grade Parkers.
PLEASE NOTE: The buttstock was cracked and has been repaired with what appears to be wood glue. Additionally, the safety does not seem to function as the hammers drop with and without the safety on when the trigger is pulled.
