Butt Plate Surprise
 
1 Attachment(s)
While taking down "Buster" my grade 2 10 gauge hammer gun I decided to remove the butt plate and see if anything was there. Pictured is what I found.

Might be David Trevallion, Trevallion Gunstocks of South Berwick, ME. 03908

Yep. That's what I was thinking.

After reading a few blogs in this forum regarding finding old hunting licenses and such in the
balance holes under butt plates, I used my investment in a set of correct screw-drivers to look under the plates of my small collection of Parkers and found just dust. However, I'll still keep looking...

Give David a ring------207-704-0450----he may remember working on the gun & what he did. David has a good memory.

And always a pleasure to talk with !

Cool! I keep looking for at least an old hunting license or maybe an emergency $50 bill under the butt plates on guns I get. So far, no luck...

Right! Because you'll probably never be able to find any evidence of a repair he might have made to it. :cool:

This is just me but I'd kinda rather not have the name of someone who repaired my gun scratched into it.

on the underside of the buttplate?

IMHO- it adds interest to the history of the gun
