Your gun does not have the original stock in all probability if there is no spur on the buttplate. The flat buttplate would have been installed if the gun were stocked by Parker or Remington and the owner did not want to pay for the skeleton buttplate or the stocking was done after Parker quit using the spurred buttplate. In this case, the gun would be considered "factory" by many Parker collectors. Your restock does not appear to have been an unprofessional effort.
