Ok I didn’t say that it was the “be all end all”did I ? Without the serial number , non originality is clear. With the serial number , originality is generally certain. Some good stock makers have been known to stamp the serial number as was done on original guns. If the stock was poorly done , then the serial number presence would not help towards originality.
So I disagree that the stock serial number fails to tell anything. But then I am not an expert on Parkers or any other gun.
