This is an untouched BHE, in the 189K sn range, and as you can see there is only a minor bevel to the leading, vertical edge. The panels are sunk below the outer edge, but no as significantly as that which Bruce has shown.
I am not remotely convinced the Forrest's CH is not original, and I don't think there is enough photographic evidence to suggest conclusively otherwise.


Note that i said the panel should be recessed. I did not say how much as i know there is variation. So, basically you are just supporting what i said???

I respect your thoughts that the subject gun may not be altered from factory specs. Can you tell me what your thoughts are on the near 90 degree angle of the checkering lines on cheeks and butt? And also on how fine the checkering is on the butt?

What do you know... same gun. I had seen the gun in person when it was offered by Fox River and my observation was the checkered cheeks were not original.
And note that the letter has no mention of checkered cheeks in the order book. Guns below B grade that were ordered this way will usually nate that in the order.

You did see my post, #40, didn't you? If the GB listing had photos as clear as the Fox River photos, I don't think there would have been much question. Am I agreeing with you? If you say so, but I don't think I'm DISagreeing with you.
The butt does seem a finer lpi than normal, but unless the ssbp was reset lower, how would one be able to recut the checkering over the top of the original ?I don't think they could have doubled it, since half would be very coarse. I'm sure if we accept that there was variation in checkered cheeks, we could assume that checkered butts may have varied also.
This direction seems to deviate from Forrest's original question. I think he gathered that most thought it was a good value, without too much concern for certain 'oddities' .

Original Parker checkered stock cheeks:

Now if I were more than a novice with Parkers I could tell who was the checkerer.
