Brian, you are correct. My intentions were to reproduce as close as possible the original stock. V guns typically had pretty strait grain plain stocks. I own several examples, all with what I would call "basic" walnut stocks. This deal involved me trading a piece of custom equipment for the job ( I own Texas Hunting Systems). In my mind my guy's thinking was he wanted to exceed my expectations. He did although deviated from the path I had in mind. As I have no intentions of this gun being sold in my lifetime I'm going to enjoy it for many years, it's a very nice little 20 ga. to take afield. It has been re-case colored, re-rust blued, and so I would say the collector's value as an "all original" Parker was pretty well gone when I started on the stock project. I'm going to let my estate worry about that after I'm gone. My nieces and nephews will all get to choose one rifle and one shotgun on my passing, the rest to be sold as my widow sees fit. At that point I certainly won't care!
