A good Parker Pages article would be the variations on G grade engraving. Just in my small collection, there is a lot of variation.

What can one do about that butt plate? Can you get an original, or do they make replicas?

Nothing against Galazan, but I've always been happier with the repro buttplates offered by NC Ordnance. Check them out at gungrip.com

It appears that the NC Ordnance buttplates are molded out of plastic, is that correct? I understand that Galazan's repro buttplates are like the originals---made of hard rubber.

The Galazan catalog says you're right. Could have fooled me. Nonetheless, there are also "fill-out" and fit issues to consider. Thus, I tend to choose NC Ord. But Galazan may have improved by now. Who knows.

I've only purchased two hard rubber reproduction buttplates from Galazan, one for a Trojan, the other for a Fox. Both had the correct screw hole spacing and were slightly oversized, so a proper fit could be made.
