It sure is a professional job Scott - definitely good enough to be factory work.

Dean my gun looks a lot like Kevin's regarding the shape of the inlay only much smaller. I'm assuming it hides a pin.

Got pictures Rich?

So it would appear some stocks were pinned as precaution with no damage, and some after the some damage. I think this suggests that just because it has a pin then it may or may not be because of damage and hence maybe has a preventive hedge against any stock damage. Would someone pay extra for that? I am guessing not but its just an added amenity and maybe just makes a bit unique.

I agree with Dean.

I'll have to check and see if I still have it, but I think I have one that looks just like Dale's. Where are you from, Dale? Mine is a Canadian Parker. It would be quite a coincidence if Parkers from wide ranging geographic areas had identical repairs unless they were factory.

I am from AZ. The guy I bought it from was from Montana.
I saw him today and he said he might have a Letter for it.
So I'll see if he does before I order one.
I will also check the work order list.

I checked the one with the pin like your's, Dale. It's 94393, a straight grip GH, but looks like a replacement stock. The pin repair was like your's and this CH that Patrick Lien posted for sale last month. Patrick's has brass where mine and your's are steel. It would be interesting to see one that letters as original or a factory repair. The CH pin has more engraving.

Thanks,
Can you post a picture of yours?

Here are a few pictures, but since the stock isn't original they don't mean much.
