It is not that uncommon.
I have seen some guns with two plugs.

I have a DH with two plugs for balance and none for the patented reinforcing rod.

If it has the reinforcing rod installed, the patent date should be stamped in the wood just behind the pistol grip assuming the stock hasn't been messed with.

Dean Thanks so much. I have wondering about that plug ever since I purchased the gun.

Some even still have the patent stamp just behind the grip cap on the toe line.

There is no patent date that I could see behind the pistol grip but this is a 1902 gun and the stock was refreshed or messed with before my purchase.

The vast majority of Parkers with the reinforcing rod either were never stamped or the stamp was obliterated in refinishing.
