10 ga. from the closet

More examples.

The upper stock is a Parker Bros CHE with the "ovate" style of point and is also the upper picture of the individual photos.

The lower stock is a DHE Reproduction which copied exactly the original Remington Parkers sent to be 'reproduced' in Japan and display the "rhomboidal" style of point common to most late Remington Parkers.

I won't make a firm conclusion based on examining a picture , but it appears to me that, after losing most of the Meriden Checkers in the move to Ilion, the radius leading to the drop point was still cut with a gouge, but the point was cut with a straight chisel.
The little flat below the drop point in the reproduction looks like it was by a router cut.

Best, Austin
