Dean, can you give us examples of guns with factory appearing checkered butts that have corresponding PGCA letters that specify "no butt"?

Dean/Bill,
The reason for my curiosity is that I have a gun from 1902 that letters "no butt" which came to me with a replacement stock that needed to be replaced. I asked Mark when lettering the gun as well as everyone else I could think of but never felt certain what "no butt" really meant. I asked Babe DelGrego if he thought perhaps the butt was left unfinished to be fitted by the new owner and his feeling was that PB would not let an unfinished gun out of the building. The more I think about the checkered butt theory the more it seems to make sense. How did PB designate a checkered butt in the stock books?
