The dogs head buttplate is a curiosity since a DH grade gun would be standard with an SSBP unless ordered otherwise specially. Other grade 3 or higher guns have been observed on occation with a DHPB, so it is not an impossibility. One thing I notice about your gun is that the buttplate screw heads are not engraved. Grade 1 and 2 guns of this era would have engraved buttplate screws. So my thought are that if the DHBP was installed factory instead of an. SSBP, then the screws would be engraved.
A PGCA letter on this gun would be a great thing to get. If records exist, that could provide information about the buttplate.
