DHE 16

Harold: Most probably you are right. Redressing the stock when sent back for repairs probably meant changing it from half pistolgrip to straight (since all other dimensions match) Sounds like a great little Parker. Georgia was and is the Bobwhite Quail Capitol of the world.

Best Regards, George

The checkered side panels might be a special order or it might hide a stock repair. It's common to pin the head of a stock to fix a crack and the checkering would hide the repair.

Let's see pictures of the cheeks. If the cheeks were checkered after 1919, there would be no record in the order books. Original Parker checkered cheeks are hard to fake. Let us take a look.

The checkered cheeks you pictured on the new thread do not appear to be done by the Parker Brothers or Remington factory.
