The Drop Points are the pointed extensions on the Side wood panels of the stock as in this photo ! D Grade and C Graded Guns have these .The Higher Grades are much more elaborate !

I believe they are missing. I will have to wait until tomorow to know for sure, the gun will be delivered on monday. I did not want the hassle of carying it on an airplane and shipped it to myself.
Thank you for the education.

Yessir. I'm hoping there is something interesting in the books on this one.

Great old gun Paul with some really nice engraving (for a change!). A lot of the "stylized" dogs of this SN era came out looking like Pluto and Skeezix; bizarre and frightening in a cartoon caricature sort of way. BTW - absence of a safety is not an automatic validation of a "pigeon gun." There are dozens of smallbore Parkers floating around that were ordered without safeties for a variety of reasons. Never automatically assume that a gun without one is a "pigeon gun." Hallmarks of true pigeon guns built for box bird or columbaire flyer shoots invariably were ordered with long barrels, tight chokes, very straight combs with little variance in drops at comb and/or heel, and in many but not all cases straight grips. (Some believed that the straight grip automatically helped to rotate the elbow upwards, bringing the face into closer and tighter contact with the stock).

Thanks Kevin, the gun does have 30" barrels. I'm not sure of the chokes yet. As it has been restocked, no capped pistol grip or SN anywhere on the wood, and an old red recoil pad with what looks like a hard rubber but plate under it. I think the only way to know is by lettering this gun. I may just end up selling this one. The price I paid for it was an exceptional deal, for a 'D' grade. even with a restock. but I just can't resist the chase on Parkers. Every time I buy one I learn a bunch more.

Paul,
I was going to say that I also noticed a lack of the correct Mullard border on the wrist checkering. I had suspected it might have been restocked.
