You could improve the gun a lot both from the appearance and handling by having Brian Dudley checker the forearm and stock in the correct pattern. From what I can see both appear uncheckered.

You are correct there is no checkering on the stock or forearm....so I guess the wood has been replaced. I liked the gun and bought it on instinct. I figured for $550 I couldn't get hurt too bad. I really like this gun so I'm going to keep it and leave it "as is".
I would like to buy a higher grade Parker but I have a lot to learn. On the other hand I am an impulse buyer. I'm going to a gun show on the 12th. God help me
Thanks guys for all your help.
Greg
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Greg,
Being an ''impulse buyer" can be a bad thing with old SxS's unless you are somewhat educated as to what to look for. If I were you I would do a lot of reading on this website and other sources before getting too involved. It's always easier to buy a bad gun than it is to sell one.
