Here are a few photos of a DH 16g. 0 frame that I fitted a replacement stock to. The stock was an original Parker DH stock from a 1 frame gun. The head and grip area needed a little reworking to fit the smaller frame.
This original stock had been broken and repaired once already in the past. Look at the grain flow!!!
It goes to show that not all original stocks were laid out all that well. I had to farther reinforce the wrist by inserting a slug of maple under the guard bow tang. As to make sure the wrist would not be a problem again on this stock.
I also have an original unfitted Parker blank that is laid out the same way as this one.
