I just saw this thread on the Parker site. I think there is a problem in that two number 38's are shown. I think the lower one may have been labelled 33 in the other site posting. The upper one is the one I would choose. The second 38 has some problems, I think, in the wrist area and I wouldn't trust it. Number 19 looks really nice, but there is a not just above the wrist that may affect it internally.
I just noticed that. Yes, the second 38 looks to be asking for trouble in the wrist area. I prefer the very first blank pictured, with the straight, contrasty grain through the wrist, and the figure in the butt.
Best,
Ted
