Jeremy, I am in agreement with the other opinions that your SBT has been restocked, but very well done especially if the gun was done more than 30 years ago when repairs and refinishing were common terms and restorations were just beginning to be in vogue. The checkered side panels look large to me and the monte-carlo stock looks slightly different from other guns I have examined. However, the overall proportions and the finish are very good and to a non Parker expert/collector your gun would pass as original except for the recoil pad. Finally Jeremy, I have known gun vendors to make partial refunds on guns they have sold when they provided erroneous information before the sale and in your case I believe it was an honest mistake.
