Idk. It smells like an original buttplate.
I can't really think of anything else that is similar.

Brian, Are the repro and original buttplates made of the same material? If not, maybe the originals absorbed odors over time from gun oil etc.

The original 'hard rubber' dog's head butt plates were made of just that - hard rubber. It is called gutta percha and is made from the resin of a particular tree, just like real rubber - hence "hard rubber". Bakelite came much later and I can't even say whether Parker Bros. ever even used Bakelite. Though I know some gunmakers used it and I don't know what Remington used on the Parkers they produced - I know they used up the supply they got from Parker Bros. before they started using their own DHBP's without the "Bros." after Parker.

Are the original DHBP curved or are they flat?
