Clint,
The PH Parker that you recheckered and added the wood to the butt stock had that reinforcing rod in it or at least at had it before Robert Fulton repaired the crack in the grip before sending it to you.
Usually this hickory rod is seen on much earlier hammerless guns so it was unusual to see it on a 1926 gun. The stock had been shortened earlier in it's life so it was interesting to see the patent stamp on the butt stock. Does the stock have the patent stamp just behing the grip cap? Also the reinforcing rod on mine measured 9/16". Attached are a couple of photo's.
Regards,
Chuck
