Jack is going to post a few more pictures for us. One is for the left side cheek panel. It's not symmetrical with the right side. Also, he says the trigger says Miller. I've asked him to post pictures of the trigger area where it says Miller and also from to top down for the safety.
My comments to Jack about the stock is that it sure looks like a Parker stock but probably from a different gun. The checkering looks correct to me including the mullard border. I'm only going by pictures of C grade stocks. You can see where the wood is below the surface of the metal on both the receiver and the SSBP.
I recommended to Jack that what I would do is refinish the forend wood to match the color of the buttstock, correct the floor plate screws, and have the internals cleaned. If there is bluing on the metal that could be taken off.
That's all I would do unless he wants to spend big bucks to go even further.
