No drop points. So not correct for a D grade. But it does have a 3 point checkering pattern. So if it is an original Parker stock, then it is from a G grade. Checkering looks recut and it doesn't have the proper mullerd border.

With all due respect Bruce, a serial number simply being under the guard does not guarantee originality of the stock. But it is a place to start looking when checking for originality.

The grip cap with the gold escutcheon looks like it is from a Grade 5 or BH Parker. It is very nicely done and engraved around the screw like a few I have seen. They often had more engraving on the gold cap but I have seen a couple of them with only minimal engraving like this one. As Brian says, the rest of the stock looks to have come from a Grade 2 Parker.
I just took a close look and see that the checkering is done in the Remington style. Are there any Remington date codes on the left barrel flat? |

But no border is visible on the bottom of the grip. Which leads me to believe it has just be incorrectly recut.

The boys at Remington weren't always well versed in the old Parker Bros. nuances in checkering and a number of other features of the Parker Gun. It could still very well have been done at Remington in Ilion.
As a prime example of the 'license' they took in stock work and variations in checkering take a look at the checkering on the straight grip of Russ Jackson's CHE 20 ga. |

That gun is a GH, not a DH. Look at the receiver engraving. What is the number below the S/N on the receiver flat and what is the full serial number?

It could be a very early DH, which has less engraving coverage on the frame.
