A few more pictures, the tang safety, and the new wood, tough day in the shop! :)

That's a nice piece of lumber. Don't forget to put the sears back in.

Not in the letter?
 

Dean,
the research letter only listed it sent back in 1913. Nothing on 38. Could this explain the high variance from the original listing of pistol grip, no safety?

Yes and everything else. Discovered the triggers were reversed yesterday!:eek:

Much left to do, cut to length after I decide if I will put a pad on as it was originally. And then to checker it.

The wood actually came with the gun, and it was well inletted. Very petite butt, just barely larger than an O size butt plate. Not would you would normally see on a 2 frame gun.

There is almost never any information available, even from Remington, about what service a Parker went back to Remington for.

It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to say when it may have been changed from its original configuration to that of today's without actual documentation verifying the change.
