It looks very much like an original Parker "Trap Comb" to me and I have never seen anyone who can perfectly duplicate the original Parker drop points. To me it looks like an original Meriden Parker Brothers stock with the exception of the Ilion grip cap.

Having said that, it looks like it has been re-checkered.

The trap or “full” comb that you reference will not have a downturn in the comb flute line like that. And not be coming to a sharp point. It would be round and blunt.

Another. Same gun as above. This gun is on the fatter side of trap comb examples. But the shape is the same.
