Herbert- congrats on your beautitful first Parker and thanks for joining this fine organization.

That is a very nice DH and one that most everyone would love to have found.

:envy:

I put an original No Shoc on my DHE 20. It is the right size and look for the gun. Galazan sells a nice repro of the No Shoc.

Well in my quest to look at a No Shoc I came up empty.

Calvin, look here.

IMO, any pad on a light 20 looks odd. At 15", why not just take it off and have a nice skeleton iron put on and have the butt properly checkered? Probably left the factory like that. It is a beautiful gun.

Is skeleton butt plates available.

Or save the expense of fitting and finishing a skeleton buttplate and have someone with the skill, like Dave Trevallion, fit a leather covered pad. That would definitely be my second choice and way above a leather faced pad.

You could ask Tony Galazan at CSMC if he has an original. I'm pretty sure he can find a repro easily enough, but originals are out there. I had one for a #1, and I recall seeing an 0 somewhere too. I think someone mention Parker Repro parts around too, but I think the heel is more rounded than the original; at least that's the way I have felt each time I've looked at a repro.

That would be the issue. Repro plates and Galazan plates are available in the correct 0 frame stock size. However, those plates are thinner than original Parker plates. It may be possible to find a correct 0 frame original Parker plate but you might have to look hard for one.
