New to me Parker Grade V with questions...
Hello to all. I am new to this forum though a member on numerous others including Colt, Smith and Wesson, Luger, P.38 and many more. The purpose of this thread is to ask a question about 1 of 2 Parker's I recently acquired. As shown in photos, I have a 1901 shotgun, Grade V with matching serial numbers. My question regards the butt stock. As can be seen, the carving on the stock is not traditional. Also the grip cap is also carved and different. Was this configuration offered by Parker or is it aftermarket? Looks to be old. Also, if new original, how negatively does it affect the value? Gun has Vulcan steel barrels. Thanks in advance for any input...Dan
