That stock is in the traditional style of the day. The only thing I would question is the strange trigger guard strap..... Get a Research Letter on that gun - it may just hav been ordered that way or returned for that modification.
A stock of mine which is also a gun of that particular era. Note the similarity in the nose of the comb.
Next is a wonderful example of what Parker Bros. would do to a trigger guard strap upon request.
