It's a bear and looks like one that might appear on a very early gun, probably a lifter. I've seen similar engraving on such a gun.

Yes, an early grade 3 lifter. I feel like I’m being very particular when it can be so hard to find a graded hammer gun that I’m interested in, but that bear? just isn’t doing it for me.

Kirk, I get it, but I consider each phase of Parker engraving as a part of history— with its own charm. I like some more than others, and some engravers, skilled at scroll, have pretty poor drawing skills.
