No. The butt was messed with so much that the buttplate was thinned and also reduced in height greatly. So a lot of the toe, where the serial number usually is, was removed. But the wood surface under the butt was unaltered and the screws were original and matched the plate. And the heads were engraved the same as the screws on the action. What survived of the plate was pretty rusty and pitted. The only remnants of engraving on the plate was At the spur and heel, it was faint and was definitely Parker factory engraving.
