Two ways of determining if the beavertail forend was fitted by Parker Bros. is if the forend has the "reinforcing rod" and if it has the reinforced one-piece forend lug. How about posting pictures of those two features if the gun has them? The forend iron is also different than the iron for a splinter in that it is stepped at the forward end to allow for drilling and tapping the hole for the reinforcing rod.
