John Havard asked me how to identify the frame size of a Parker stock by looking at the outside surface of the buttplate. He asked because I had identified the stock on Angel Cruz' #1 frame 16 as probably having a #0 size stock. John, the #0 size buttplate has the form of a setter puppy facing left. The #1 size buttplate generally has the form of a bird dog, probably a nineteenth century style pointer, with a woodcock in his mouth. The #2 size buttplate has a big dog's head or the front end of a similar dog, also facing left. I guess that dog is a pointer, but he could be a retriever. The #2 style buttplate is also used on the #3 and larger frame guns, all the way up to #6 and #7, as well as the #2 frame guns. The 0, 1, and 2 are stamped in the back of the original buttplates and some reproductions. #0 style buttplates are not rare on #1 frame guns, nor are #1 style buttplates rare on #0 frame guns. #0 style buttplates seem to be commonly used on #00 and #000 frame guns. Parker would do what they had to do to satisfy a customer or a weight request. I own a 12 gauge 1/2 frame Remington gun that has a skeleton buttplate that is of a smaller dimension than any 28 gauge or .410 bore gun I have owned or seen.

For the benefit of us that are still learning, would it be too much to ask if someone would post pic examples of the 0, 1 & 2 buttplates?

Same idea as the Chicle' trees in Central America that are tapped for the 'rubber' that is used in chewing gum; think Chiclets.... We used to find trees with the telltale V pattern cuts from the cutters in the jungle and recut one once and chewed the resultant sap - you couldn't wear it out. I'd post pics but they're Kodachrome slides. The guys who collected the gum were/are called Chicleros and are folk heroes. They go out alone into the jungle with a pack animal for weeks, collect the sap, dry it a bit and make a ball of it a few feet in diameter and bring it out of the jungle to sell for a lot of money.... all so folks can look cool chewing gum. Go figure.

You got me Sam. If anyone can find a pic of a perch, I'll edit the post. I found no end of perch pics but not under the knife. One thing for sure on this forum, one best have all the details in order.
Cheers, Jack
