More examples.

The upper stock is a Parker Bros CHE with the "ovate" style of point and is also the upper picture of the individual photos.

The lower stock is a DHE Reproduction which copied exactly the original Remington Parkers sent to be 'reproduced' in Japan and display the "rhomboidal" style of point common to most late Remington Parkers.

Drop Points
 

I won't make a firm conclusion based on examining a picture , but it appears to me that, after losing most of the Meriden Checkers in the move to Ilion, the radius leading to the drop point was still cut with a gouge, but the point was cut with a straight chisel.
The little flat below the drop point in the reproduction looks like it was by a router cut.

Best, Austin

Dean, has the Repro stock been refinished?

Greg, I don't believe it has been refinished but when I bought the gun it had seen quite a bit of use so the glossy finish may appear somewhat softer.... I can't really even say if it may have a very nice oil finish.

Austin, I agree with your opinion of how the Meriden and Ilion points were cut.

I've wanted a 10 gauge Parker for several years now !

And seeing so many nice ones here has only made it worse !
