Butt Plate Surprise

[Mike Franzen]

While taking down "Buster" my grade 2 10 gauge hammer gun I decided to remove the butt plate and see if anything was there. Pictured is what I found.

Might be David Trevallion, Trevallion Gunstocks of South Berwick, ME. 03908

[Mike Franzen]

Yep. That's what I was thinking.

After reading a few blogs in this forum regarding finding old hunting licenses and such in the
balance holes under butt plates, I used my investment in a set of correct screw-drivers to look under the plates of my small collection of Parkers and found just dust. However, I'll still keep looking...

Give David a ring------207-704-0450----he may remember working on the gun & what he did. David has a good memory.

And always a pleasure to talk with !

Cool! I keep looking for at least an old hunting license or maybe an emergency $50 bill under the butt plates on guns I get. So far, no luck...

Right! Because you'll probably never be able to find any evidence of a repair he might have made to it.

This is just me but I'd kinda rather not have the name of someone who repaired my gun scratched into it.

on the underside of the buttplate?

IMHO- it adds interest to the history of the gun
