A very unique checkering style ,CHE 20 Ga. ,Stock is original to the gun ,not sure about the checking ,this guns been looked at by many knowledgeable Parker Folks and the concensus is the stock is the one it left the Factory with ! I hope Bruce you were looking for others to post some grips also ,if not ,I apologize for sticking this in here ,I figured most would find it neat ! Russ

Dean, always loved that quote--and the book.

There is no doubt in my mind of that fact.

Here is my favorite.

Tttt

Parker's are all about details. They were costly then and costly now and the stock details are part of the reason.

Thanks Bruce.

Beautiful guns guys. BTW Bruce if you ever need someone to store your guns when the safe gets full, I would store them for completely free of charge :)
