Factory Straight Stocks

[mobirdhunter]

Does anyone have information on the Parker factory converting pistol grip stocks to straight? I recently purchased an 1886 16 bore G grade that is listed in the serialization book as having been originally made with with a capped pistol grip. This gun has a straight grip and a trigger guard with a long tang. The tang has engraving, including a serial number that matches the gun. The engraving on the trigger guard is modest, mostly just border engraving with some scroll at the apex of the guard bow.

I've read that Parker would do just about anything for a customer, so I assume this work could be factory generated. I am sending off for a letter, but thought I'd query the group to see what knowledge of such conversions might be out there.

Thanks for considering this.
