Thanks for all of your responses.
I thought the ventilated rib and the fore-end look original since they look identical to the trap gun shown on page 401 of TPS (#229815). I figured the butt pad was probably an older replacement.
This gun and the other one mentioned from the same seller are/were not represented as original. It is up to me to do my homework. I have researched all the Parker books I own to determine whether this gun looks original or not. I will get a better idea when the gun is in my hands.
I do realize that the Serialization book has some incorrect information so that is why I posted this question and photos to see if there is a quicker way to help verify originality. Since this gun is a large investment, I will send away for a letter before I purchase the firearm. Any additional opinions based on the pictures posted would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
