Mark - a replacement is a replacement - still won't be the original, that is not a bad looking piece of wood.

Brian is much more the expert on stock than almost anyone else here. before you do anything with it- talk to him or maybe some one like Brad Balchelder. Stock work is not cheap but that gun is so great, anything you do must be done correctly by someone who really knows Parkers, maybe some of the cosmetics can be improved.

i just wish I could see that one in action in a duck blind.

Mark: I believe I have its twin that came out of the Fergas Falls Minn. area. It is a 34 inch 5 frame 10 ga. That weighs a tad more than yours. I believe those Minnesota boys were a serious bunch of waterfowlers back in the day. Thomas

Whether the stock is original, or not, it looks right as rain. If the hammers are original to the gun, they should have either the entire serial number, or the last 3 digits, on the back of them, but, they too, look correct.
I'm not sure I'd do much, if anything, to the gun s it looks to be in solid, good condition.
