Thanks Dean- I wondered about that as well- did some of the factory Parker beavertail forearms also have a recoil reinforcement? If I were listing this item I might have detailed the serial number on the iron, also if the same number was marked on the inside of the forearm (channel maybe?) and the width of the forearm iron at the shoe- to make it easier to match to a Parker frame-- I have no interest in this, so I can't comment on the asking price, and on a personal note, just as very much prefer double triggers, I also prefer splinter forearms on my side-bys==
