That's right Calvin. Dave Suponski's first post on page 1 of this thread explains it. Probably all Parker (and most other makers) "rubber" buttplates, whether "dog's head" or not, right up until sometime in the 1940's were gutta percha. There is a surprising difference in weight between a gutta percha buttplate and one made of plastic - the gutta percha one will be easily twice the weight.

Hey George,
Where are those pictures? No, not pics of grits and scrapple, although the combination would make a great breakfast along with a couple fresh fried eggs. Wow, it's easy to get off topic. I have to go cook breakfast.

Jim Kelly at Darlington Gun Works has the gun now to put back in shape. I took these pictures just outside his shop. I have never posted pictures here before but I'm going to give it a try. Here goes!.......George

Well, I tried! Could some kind person tell me how to post pictures here?

Thanks, George

You don't know what you're missing on scrapple. The PA boys got me to eating it and I'm addicted. Fried eggs, toast, and scrapple is a duck hunters breakfast for sure.

Default Gutta Percha? insulator

As in a 'dielectric' insulator- best choice is Mica-- Ashville NC and the old Diamond Mica Co. My GrandDad made a lot of molds for them in the pre-WW11 years.

Scrapple- my cardiologist would have a big chcukle out of that as a steady diet- like the Four Redneck food groups- Salt- Sugar- Bacon Grease and White Lightin'-- Wow
