That would be Prince of Wales, as in Great Britain; I don't think there has been a Prince of Whales since Shamu died.

One man's opinion: http://www.sportinggun.co.uk/shootin...sh_Prince.html
My opinion is that it's just what the English call a half-pistol grip. Some smaller bore Parkers had half grips. I'm pretty sure I've seen several .410s stocked that way. Checkered side panels on a V grade tells me it's either been restocked, or it's hiding a pin that was put in to repair a split head. |

Thanks Kevin,
I guess that is what we get for not reviewing our posts before submitting. Actually, my Grandmother Pickens came to the US from Wales as a young woman, and her father was a Welsh sea captain who sailed the Atlantic--the ships log is still in the families possesion. Edgar--that is what I thought! |

Wales vs. Ball
What is the difference between a Ball grip and the POW?

A "ball grip" differs from a "pistol grip" in that it has a pronounced swelling at the knob of the grip where a pistol grip (not to be confused with a "capped pistol grip") does not have that swell. A true Prince of Wales grip generally has neither and has a much more gradual (almost non-existent) radius to the tang area.

A true Prince of Wales grip is not a ball grip, but a gradual pistol grip, usually with cap at less of an angle from the horizontal than a normal capped grip. Look at the "stock grip styles" on the Hallowell site. That is a classic POW grip, probably pictured on a Woodward shotgun. Woodward used the classic POW style stock on many of their pistol grip guns.

Harold, I saw the same gun at Washinton show. Is that not the same grip as seen on page 40 of the S.I book? Or code "B"

Why don't we have some posters show pictures of different style grips. Capped pistol grips, pistol grips, POW grips, ball grips, etc. for comparison.
I see many entries in the stock books that are abbreviated CPG and many that are just P.G. What's the difference? Pictures of all would help. Maybe a good short article in the PP's is in order by Dean
