The initials are for Pearson Bannister. Parkers head stock maker at that time. That is a 1904 gun which is right in the timeframe thanI have observed his mark on many other stocks. He worked until he died in 1912.
I am not sure about the star. That is the first time I have seen that. Well, maybe the first time. After hundreds of stocks, it is hard to recall. But I may have seen it before. A large “R” will indicate a factory replacement stock. But that is the only other mark that I have commonly seen on a stock. One can only speculate on the star. Is there anything different about your stock?

Nothing special I can see other than the stock having some neat long dark streaks in it.

The "2" represents the grade of the gun.

I had a GH that was stocked with English walnut.
