My 1924 P grade 12ga has the stamp. It's in the Parkers Found section of the Parker Pages. Just to rehash, the reinforcing rod didn't prevent the stock from cracking behind the top tang and on each side of the grip however it may have prevented further cracking or breaking completely.
I sent the stock to Bob Fulton at Stockfixers. When he got the stock he asked me about the reinforcing rod, I guess he had never seen one in a Parker stock before. I think it's been said that the stamp, if found, was on early hammerless guns and I think it a little odd that it's on my 1924 gun. Perhaps using up old inventory.
