That stock shield is quite a bit larger than the original Parker, about 50% larger, but unable to find an orginal, I took a Dremel tool with a round sanding disk and about two hours later I had it close enough to an original Parker in size and shape that one could hardly tell. To get the surface the same, it took quite a bit of polishing with a rag and Flitz. Now when my stock man went to put it in, the large nail on the back of it broke off. So after inletting it, additional bending to fit the contour of the stock, he just epoxied it in place. A lot of work but it's close enough only a PGCA member could tell the difference. The originals are held in place by two very small wire nails but I did not think that was worth the effort. It was a $100 effort to get to that point.
The same shields are available from a couple of sources if you want to shop around.
