Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

The good news is the gun appears correct, as there are quite a few straight stocked Lefever's around that were restocked to guns originally furnished with pistol grips. The trigger guard is the dead giveaway in such instances, as the straight variety should extend way down the underside of the stock...as yours does. On pistol grip guns the guard metal terminates under the lip of the grip cap on early guns, and in front of the cap on later guns.
This is a nice find, with the less common thick butt plate. Congrats.

NDG is exactly correct regarding the tang and identifying restocks. We also see some fewer LAC factory stocked examples of tangs that appear to have started out as the shorter rounded lower profile PG tangs and had additional steel grafted to create an extension for SG, as is evident on #48944. Run short and improvise to fill an order. Not always readily apparent when a gun is higher condition - but when finishes wear... Enlarge the photo you will see the faint curved line of the original lower tang to the left of the SN# and a circular pin weld locking the scarf joint to the left of that.
