Parker skeleton steel butt plate

[Ruff Hunter]

Can anyone tell me the length and width dimensions of an original Parker skeleton steel butt plate corresponding to a #1 frame size? (My DHE #2's skeleton butt measures 5 1/2" x about 1 3/4".)

One of our members posted that he is makeing the SSBP. You could look in the archives for the contact information. Someone here might remember the gentelmans name.

Good engraveing doesn't come cheap and inaccurate work lasts a lot longer than the memory of what it cost. I had Goffery Gornet engrave a trigger guard as part of a project. His fee was figured into the total cost and I didn't even ask what it was because it would be done right and it was.

Width is taken at the widest location and the length is taken off the line of the top of the stock which is closer to the point end of the spur to the heel.

#1 frame hammer 12: Length 5 3/16" , Width 1 7/8"
#3 frame hammerless 10: Length 5 3/4", Width 1 15/16"

Justin, did you get the buttplate or was it too big for your gun?
