I think that the amount of detail to a re-stocking would be a consideration. If you were looking for an exact duplication of the checkering pattern, wood type/grain pattern, quality of the work performed, in addition to the aforementioned suggestions, would be taken into account. You wouldn't want an AAHE grade 16 gauge (my favorite gauge just for suggestion) Parker re-stocked with Trojan grade wood by an inexperienced stocker. You would not want to re-stock a 12 gauge Boito with exhibition walnut fitted and checkered by some of the outstanding craftsman on our site.
