Hi Richard,
It seems to take a 12 ga. shell just perfectly, maybe a little play, but not so you'd notice. I am a wood person and it's tiger maple. I've taken the pics to show you. They will be downloaded later today. I have looked up the number in the Parker double book set. It was made in 1884. I don't know of another book? I did dial in the serial number before sending the letter and there is information available on it.
I believe you are right. I was hoping that it had been stocked in Maple, because the cost to replace the stock is a lot more than the forend. However, setting up the forend for the pics, there is no doubt it's original. The stock is the issue.
Thanks,
Carl
