The seldom seen, by me at least, buttplate identified as D-8 in The Parker Story pictures on page 1 of this thread, is seen on the hammer gun in the "Pheasants on Hammer Gun" thread on this forum. It is described as a gun made in 1878 in the TPS picture and the "pheasant gun" was a #3 frame hammer gun made in 1882. From this information, I assume this buttplate was used quite early and probably has a "2" stamped on the back. I don't own an example of that buttplate so I can't comment with confidence.
