Welcome Josh from another Buckeye. I grew up in Belmont County near St Clairsville, have worked there as an optometrist for 42 years, and own an old farm there also. I live just across the Ohio river in Wheeling now. Where are you located?
That's a nice Parker, 12 ga I assume. I often shoot a Grade 2 16 ga Damascus.
Good to have you on board.

Can you post additional photos of the wrist checkering on that stock?

Welcome! That is indeed a fine example of the Parker craft. Enjoy it.

Yes, please do post better pics of that checkering pattern on the wrist of the stock.
