Default Who to make new stock for VH?

Gents;
My Parker VH #2 frame 32" gun has a bolt through the cheeks that has been very poorly done, and while some miracle fellow could fix it, the drop at comb is just too low for this old trapshooter. I took it to the trap range and consistently shot under targets.
If I'm spending the bucks, I would like cast off, and a replacement would get a recoil pad as well.

I live in Nebraska:
Who would you recommend to do this with wood that looks "VH?"
I want to keep it original looking, not "gussied up" wood, so I want modern dimensions, but an original looking gun. I'm not trying to fool anyone, just wanting to keep the pleasing Parker look.

Is it straight or pistol grip? I have a recent bondo enhanced stock for a straight grip #2 frame gun with great modern dimensions, 14 3/8 to single trigger, by 1 3/8 by 2 1/4. I would not have specified 14 3/8 but I honestly forgot that the gun has a single trigger. Three degree pitch to a skeleton butt. I would lend it back to my stockmaker to have it duplicated if it fits your gun. I plan to use it again if I have another #2 frame project. Donnie Gennes did the duplication. You could just let him do the whole thing, might be easier that way. By the way, I also used wood that is not "over the top". I like my V grades to look like V grades. We'll see what it looks like soon, I hope.

Thanks Bill;
It's a Capped Pistol Grip, Double Triggers, Dogs Head Butt plate, SN: 208346, 14 1/4"lop to front trigger. A straight grip and a beaver tail would be wonderful, but I want to stay fairly close to original, except this old sissy wants a recoil pad to absorb some.
(I couldbe talked of it if I had a guy who could put the through bold in the beaver tail, and make it look original.
I do not know Donnie.......where is he?
Oh, Bruce Day knows me, if you need to ask someone who I might be.
