The stock appears to be in good condition but it’s not checkered and the pad is not one you wound find on an original Parker. Also, the shape doesn’t seem quite right. So if you are asking if it matters in respect to value, the answer is absolutely. Probably wouldn’t be expensive to have the stock stripped, checkered, and a correct pad installed but the stock, as is, detracts from the value of the gun. The bigger issue I see is it appears the entire gun has been blued. All of the metal.

Do you think it’s possible to find an original stock that goes with this gun?

Possible, yes. But personally I don’t think would bother unless you are planning to refinish the entire gun, meaning having all of the metal stripped down to bare metal and then refinished. And given what’s been done to the metal, I would want to make sure there aren’t mechanical issues inside.
Do you mind sharing what you know about the gun? Is there family history that gives it special meaning? Do you want to make it “right” or original? |

Given the bluing of the frame, probably not worth the effort or expense. IMHO the gun has no collector value, with or without a correct replacement stock, but is only valued as a shooter. If everything is tight and proper, it may be a wonderful shooter. Depends on what you want.

Mikes right. That’s why I ask why you want to replace the stock. In its current state I wouldn’t do anything with it UNLESS there is some intrinsic value.

Family friend passed away and we always talked about how good it was for bird hunting. He wanted me to have it. I will enjoy as you have suggested.

As it sits right now, in terms of market value, it’s not worth much. But the value to you is incalculable. We can’t put a value on that history, that something only you can do. |
