Just Got Her Home!

I second Wayne. The wood looks like it would clean up well. Often, they used top quality wood on these early Parkers

[Eric Dehn]

Great advice, Wayne. Thx! I'll most definitely give that a try before proceeding with a full-on restock.

If the wood is truly soaked with oil, you might soak it in a solvent such as methyl ethel key ton or the like for a week or so before the Murphy's. David

Yeah... There looks to be nothing wrong with that stock from a functional or structural standpoint.
A good soaking in Acetone for a while will clean it up nice. It doesnt even appear to have much oil in it either.
Granted, there may not be much room for sanding if needed. But with the overall condition of the gun, you would not want to go the route of a refinish to "Like New".
A good cleaning and freshening of the finish is all that in order before laying down new checkering.
Straight Shellac would be a proper finish for this by the way.
