Default Serial number under trigger guard

I just acquired an SC SBT with a Monte Carlo stock. However, there is no serial number under the trigger guard.

I was told the stock was original, but without the serial number under the guard, I am having significant doubts.

How unlikely would it be that the stock IS original but lacks the serial number under the trigger guard?

Please let me know if you think this is original.

BTW, it didn't match the letter config for the DOC and DOH.

The nose of the comb doesn't look like original Parker or Remington replacement.

It could be a DelGrego replacement.

^^ what Dean said ^^

Everything about it except the comb looks correct. And the comb looks totally delgrego.
I dont know what to say abot the dull screwdricer that inletted the trigger guard.


Does your white line pad have the delgrego name on it?

Jeremy, it's most likely a DelGrego buttstock but it's a great looking stock. Can you show us a pictures of the beavertail forend? We may be able to tell by the checkering and mullerd border if it's original. It's not uncommon to just have the buttstock replaced but keep the beavertail original. BTW, the same applies to the forend wood, it should have the S/N stamped in the wood but you have to separate the metal from the wood.

Most single barrel traps have suffered the fate of a lot of other trap guns and that is being owned by trap shooters (likely multiple ones), who are notorious for stock modifications. Many guns have stocks that, if they are original, they have been altered so much that they are just a mess.
At least you have a stock that is one piece of nicely figured wood and looks, for ghe most part, correct.
