Jim...I'm betting that the stock is original although I don't know why the drop points were removed. The skeleton butt plate is the key. This looks to me like original Parker althogh the person who freshened the checkering pointed up all the diamonds. This is incorrect for a Parker.

It also looks like he removed the skeleton butt plate to freshen up the checkering. This is wrong also. I believe Parker checkered the butt with the plate on. I think that is fairly obvious when looking at untouched skeletal checkering.

All in all it looks like a great gun. I had a 34" DHE without safety and the engraving on the tang looked just like yours. I gave the 34" gun to a member of this board. I still miss that gun. I killed a ton of ducks pass shooting in Saskatechewan with it. I also used it for live ring birds and trap shooting.
