There are a few things that are atypical of the stock on this gun. The shape of the grip and butt behind the grip mainly. Also the figure of the wood too is atypical for a Parker of that era. The grip cap inlay is different for sure, bit I would not discount it being “factory” if the buttstock was a later factory replacement and it was done at that time. The lack of the inlay in the toe line with the cap inlay is typical of what was done on the higher grades when a cap inlay was done. The toe line inlay was usually left off.
I would wonder what a letter would say.
