I have a Parker GH with Damascus barrels around the 95,000 S/N range.
It has a straight grip on it in need of replacement.
The original has been repaired and sanded far too low in relation to the metal and ALL of the checkering is gone with no traces of it.

My question is two fold...

Does anyone have any good pictures of a GH with a straight grip so I can see what type of checkering pattern is on the wrist originally? I keep an eye on GB for them listed, but there have been none recently.

Also, I see that my values book notes the fairly low production numbers of this grade with a straight grip, but does not list that there is an adder in value for this.

Would any of you say that that straight grip does realistically add any value to the gun since there were a lot less made in comparison to pistol grips?
