What do you know... same gun. I had seen the gun in person when it was offered by Fox River and my observation was the checkered cheeks were not original.
And note that the letter has no mention of checkered cheeks in the order book. Guns below B grade that were ordered this way will usually nate that in the order.

The photos shown on the Fox River listing show the cheeks in much greater detail, and they don't appear to be original, though they are still nice.

Original Parker checkered stock cheeks:

Now if I were more than a novice with Parkers I could tell who was the checkerer.
