So I went digging around and found an old photo that had come with the gun. As you can see it is straight gripped but I'm certain by the checkering and if memory serves Chris did say the old fellow who had him restock it had a non-original stock on the gun to replace the higher grade stock it had come with that got broken and that the original wore a Prince of Wales grip and he wanted Chris to replicate the original with the proper checkering pattern as well. I took a few photos, as you can see the forend wood serial # matches on both forends so the gun did come with higher grade wood new and the Fleur-De-Lis checkering.
