I thought that myself. Be curious to see what's under the tang......
Could just be that the checking was recut when the refinish was done. DLH

If you've got the original stock on the gun still, the serial number will be stamped into the wood under the tang.

The serial number could be there even if it was restocked, not a hard thing to add. Russ Bickel restocked a CHE 20 for me and redid the serial number.

Russ Bickel also had gone to the trouble to special order a set of number stamps that matched the Parker ones. Not many gunsmiths have or had his attention to detail. He was absolutely the only one I ever saw who could stock a Parker or a Fox and have you wondering if it was original or not. I doubt there will be another to equal him in the woodwork department for a long time, if ever.......
