Different butt stock and grip cap
I certain the butt stock of my D grade ten bore has been replaced as the quality of the wood is not up to D grade standards, at least like others I've seen. There is no gold initial shield on this stock. The skeleton butt plate is there but, someone cut a thin slice off the original stock and put it on this one so he didn't have to re-cut the checkering. Don't know whether he was clever or lazy. The fit is as close as any original so I'm wondering if a smith ordered a replacement from Parker but, in a lower grade. I've not seen a grip cap like this one so again I'm wondering if it has been modified.
What say you fellows?
