The butt plate. Original?? Your guess is as good as mine... But my guess is that it is original.

The widows peak is not unique to Parker. I wish I hadn’t sold it (hell, I wish I still had every gun I’ve ever owned) but I had. Simpson 8x57JR double rifle that had a widows peak and checkered butt plate. It looked like horn but was probably gutte percha.

I still submit that regret is one of the strongest emotions. Edgar's statement might appear on a headstone or two (probably mine, at least).

Sorry to get us off the trail.
