Default Original Stippling on Parker

Hi everyone, new member here so I apologize for the influx of questions recently. There is a Parker VHE 16 gauge in a shop local to me that the stock has been stippled instead of checkered. The gun is priced exorbitantly due to the shop owner being a firm believer the stippling was done at the factory (5k plus). Are there any records of Parker doing anything other than checkering at the factory? Whoever did the stippling seems to have done a fine job - it isn’t a basement hack job. The stock is filled with cracks, some going all the way down through the grip area so i wouldn’t be interested in it anyways. Looks like maybe the barrels were cut to....

I will grab one next time I’m in the shop. Didn’t think much to grab one in the moment unfortunately.

In my opinion, stippling is reserved for those who cannot checker.

Photos would of course be appreciated, but more so out of curiosity as I think we can safely say that it is likely not original.

There was a VH or VHE on Gunbroker a year or two ago that was stippled of a sort where the checkering should have been . But it was also pretty evident that it was not factory done .

I think we’ve seen it here a while back.

I have seen such a gun, don't imagine it was original.

Well. Sorry to dig up an old thread, but i finally got a chance to stop back into this shop. Upon closer inspection, it seems to me that whoever did the stippling used the intersection of the checkering lines as a reference point for the stippling tip. Thus i can conclude this was definitely not original.
