Thank you for your interest. I have added more pictures to the album but continue in the dark about how to link them. The look and feel of the checkering is that it is very professional and that it required sophisticated equipment to make those concentric cuts.
There is little likely hood that a purchaser of a 0 grade gun would pay to have a third party do this. My surmise is that it was done as practice and experiment by Parker. There is no letter available. The forend is a Parker standard but did not appear on 0 grade guns. Everything else aside it is a bit peculiar but enjoyable and is a fully functioning gun that I shoot. Thanks Dean and Dudley! David
