It’s been cleaned and polished, stock seems to have some sort of treatment too. Is that wood grain or applied grain.

Thanks for the reply, I am in the process of buying the gun so I have the same kinds of questions. It sounds like the original stock would have likely been walnut but the pattern is similar to a tiger maple. It could be that the pattern was applied as others have suggested. I will know more in a week or so but I really appreciate the comments and questions from everyone.

All the bluing and case colors are gone, giving it that white or silver look. I was curious about the wood as well, was it flamed?

It looks like a maple restock, very interesting.

It is a restock - probably with wood from a grade 2 gun. Trojans did not come with a capped pistol grip.
Sure would like to see more of the forend. If it is latched that would suggest donor barrels too. .

Parkers have blued barrels/trigger guards. And all other metal is case colored. This particular gun has either had all of it’s original finish worn off or removed.
The wood is not original. Not from another gun, just plain non-factory wood. The type of wood was not used on Parkers, and the shape of the stock is just plain not right, especially in the grip. Not that any of that means the gun will not go bang and do it’s purpose. But i just hope you are not considering paying more than $400-500 on it.
