Parker Stock Finishes
Being new to the Parker realm and a newby to this site, I was wondering if the stock finish inherited on my restocked 1906 DH was typical for the time period?
The wood is quite light for my taste and is the only double I have ever owned that does not have an oil finish stock. My intentions is to remove the "hard" finish, use a dark reddish hued stain, and put an oil finish on the stock.
Having said this, I have noticed numerous other light stocks on various Parkers, as well as few dark stocks. I was just wondering if stock finish dictates the gun era? Thanks for any info.
