More Info
The serial number is 178547 built 1917 and the butt plate looks correct for that period based on info on page 103 of the Parker Story. Turnbull said the gun was there for a week and he suspected they only did the metal. The stock has obviously been refinished but the fit and cracks and dings under the refinish would appear to be older than 1995 when Turnbull did it. I have attached two higher quality images for you to magnify and examine. How do I go about obtaining the order book info. I have sent a research request already. Thanks for all the help.
