Default Anyone recognize the stocker?
Does anyone recognize who may have restocked this DH grade gun? Appears to be very nicely done. I wouldn't think there would be many people who do this.

The grain of the wood is nice but that’s the best I can give it.

No, I could not do better and would never attempt to, but there are several stockers who can do much better in replicating an original Parker stock.

JMHO

Dean, I know it's not an exact copy of an original, I just thought from the many craftsmen on this forum, someone may recognize it.

It appears to have a flattened PG trigger guard instead of the long straight grip type.

It will hopefully be a good duck blind companion.

For a hunting gun it will work great I think. Plus the newer wood will hopefully be a bit more durable than wood that's 116 years old.

It looks nothing like how a Parker DH stock should look.

John, I believe that gun will serve you well for your intended purpose. Very nice looking and if it fits you, you are way ahead of the game.
