Default Anyone recognize the stocker?

Does anyone recognize who may have restocked this DH grade gun? Appears to be very nicely done. I wouldn't think there would be many people who do this.

The grain of the wood is nice but that’s the best I can give it.

No, I could not do better and would never attempt to, but there are several stockers who can do much better in replicating an original Parker stock.

JMHO

Dean, I know it's not an exact copy of an original, I just thought from the many craftsmen on this forum, someone may recognize it.

It appears to have a flattened PG trigger guard instead of the long straight grip type.

It will hopefully be a good duck blind companion.

Excellent looking job, a Real Craftsman. In my area their are (3) very good
wood craftman's who work is equal to some of the high cost wood workers that are mentioned on the Parker Site. These Guys rates are very,very reasonable
and they even supply the wood. You don't need a high end name to get a quality job.

For a hunting gun it will work great I think. Plus the newer wood will hopefully be a bit more durable than wood that's 116 years old.

It looks nothing like how a Parker DH stock should look.
