There are lots of details about Parker construction that I don't know about and this is another one. Interesting that for repros, the checkered section is an insert separate from the stock. So they would fit the SKB to the stock so the outside edges are flush, including the spur, and then fill the center space by fitting a checkered insert into it? While I am not a stockmaker, it seems that fitting this insert would be more trouble than just inletting the SKB to the stock? I guess you have the advantage of not having to checker end-grain?
