Default Checkered Butt Question

Anyone ever seen a Parker checkered butt in this design? I haven't.

I haven’t seen such a checkering pattern but is sure of Parker quality and could very well be original. Definitely a Grade C or higher.

It is a DHE 20. I don't have any other pictures.

I would have expected a higher grade, but anything is possible with Parkers.

I don't think it's Parker, and is too different from any of the 'normal' deviations from standard. The corner transitions aren't that good either.

Okay Reggie, fess up. Where’d you get the picture? And do you have any evidence of the make of the gun?

It’s a 20 gauge skeet listed on GI. The gun looks legit all but the checkered butt. I have no interest in the gun but having owned 3 checkered butt Parkers I had never seen that pattern.

Could be legit Reggie? Heck, Mills and I both have 20g Trojans with checkered butts.
