Checkered Butts on High Grades

[Robert Delk]

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.
