The comb is very atypical for a Parker of any era.

Brian, from that, do you think this is NOT a Parker stock? A reproduction that replaced an original.

Not necessarily. It is all speculation at this point.
The only thing we know is that it is not the original stock that the gun left Meriden with when it was built.
I personally still think it is a Remington replacement done after production ceased. Just the comb is not a style that I have seen before.

It looks very much like an original Parker "Trap Comb" to me and I have never seen anyone who can perfectly duplicate the original Parker drop points. To me it looks like an original Meriden Parker Brothers stock with the exception of the Ilion grip cap.

Having said that, it looks like it has been re-checkered.

I have to get a letter coming. There may be a bit of info available there. This is a 1924 gun with a skipped serial number in the book. Bespoke gun? "She may have a checkered past"

Interesting, the website informs me PGCA has no records for this serial number to base a letter on. I guess this serial number and date of production falls in a "missing" book? I have looked at another 1924 gun that is not listed.

The trap or “full” comb that you reference will not have a downturn in the comb flute line like that. And not be coming to a sharp point. It would be round and blunt.

See here a great example of an original Meriden Trap comb. Attachment 80500
