I really like the leather insert too. First one I've seen or heard of. Any ideas on what stage of its life that was installed? Would PB have ever done that?

Still O/T Parker is not the only maker found in the U.K. I have a Fox Sterlingworth ejector gun SN 66765 with British proofs to 3 1/4 tons.

WW II EXPORTS
American Sportsmen contributed more than 100,000 sporting arms for British home defence during 1937 -41. They were inspected by EKeith at Toole Army Depot, Utah before shipment. They may have been reproofed on the other side,
Woulldn't a Parker 20 have been a sweet gun for a WREN on gaurd duty. Best, Austin |

I was just drooling over on Mr. P's site and see he has a BHE 20 with a checkered butt. What's the chances this is the way it left Meridian or was restocked?
I would love to take her into the Grouse covert's. |

A Parker stock just sold at an auction locally with a checkered butt but the stock had been broken and glassed so I could not make out the serial number completely.Must have been a B or higher as it had the fluer-de-lis checkering.Serial was 228--- or 229--- something. I think it could have been properly fixed before they glassed it.Have no idea about the rest of the gun.

If you are doing a restock and want to put a SSB on it good luck in finding one. I have looked since the begining of a project to restock a CHE 20 which started last June and no luck finding one of the proper size. It is almost completed and I will go with a checkered butt vs a pad. IF I ever come up with a SSB it can be added later.
That BHE 20 is a nice gun but the Grouse are just as dead with the C, D's & V 20's already tucked away.

Tracked down the stock I referred to in my earlier post and the owner says it was a originally a padded stock and that it was cut off and checkered by on the butt by a local stockmaker as a test.He seems to know.Just being thorough.
