Bob, take a drive over to Wildwood Guns in China and trade them your splinter for the non-original beavertail from a Parker GH they have that used to be mine. I bought it without the original splinter - someone had stolen it from the gun while it stood in a rack at Riley's in Hooksett NH. I think I bought the very nicely done beavertail (without reinforcing rod) from Ron Kirby about 7 years ago. Anyway, the gun has been sitting in Wildwood's inventory for over a year and it might help the gun to sell if it had a splinter. Their stock number of that gun is 103N. Give them a call first.
