Kurt:
For any of the hard rubber, dogs head style butt plates - I expect to see the spur on any grade made before the mid-1920s.
Observation teaches me that the spur disappears on lower grades sometime in the latter part of the 1920s.
To quote Dean: “From the very first T-latch Parkers with steel butt plates up until the late twenties 'all' butt plates had the widow's peak (or spurred) butt plates and the skeleton steel butt plate had the spur until the end of Remington production of the Parker gun.” 09-03-2021
This is an example of the wealth of information available on this board that is not necessarily published (at least where I can find it in TPS or my Price & Fjestad).
I’m glad you asked the question. Inspires me to use the search function and delve deeper into the commentary on butt plates within this board.
