I have seen at least one original looking DH with dog's head butt plate. It is too high a serial number to confirm a special order in an order book. The stock on that gun is definitely a D grade stock and full length.

I have a DHE skeet gun with a checkered butt. I believe the skeet gun were either checkerd butts or came with a recoil pd at the customers request. I don't think any had the SSBP.....did they?

The gun I have is a DHE 12 ga StStk DT with DHBP 14 1/4" LOP- appears correct but the gun has been redone - looks HQ CC and engraving - maybe Del Grego but I don't know prior owners names. Am going to try and track them down. Alternative will be to send the gun there and let them tell me if they did it. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

We have had this conversation before and we know there are at least a few D grade guns in the order books listed as "Rubber Butt" I take that to mean Dogs Head Butt Plate. Guns ordered with a recoil pad usually(but not always)list the pad by maker.

The rubber butt term is also used in Parker Catalogs.

I have confirmed with Turnbull that they worked on the gun in 1995. He says his records are not detailed enough to tell exactly what they did. He suspects just CC based on short stay for the gun at their shop.
BTW the "Parker Bros." stamped in the water table is double stamped - one over the other slightly off line. Last edited by scott porter; 05-23-2010 at 10:37 AM.. |

What is the serial number of the D? The buttplate pictured looks to be a fairly early--before 100000. If the serial of the gun is after 100000, it is more likely to be an aftermarket fit.
