Parker DH Restock, 16 Gauge

This 16 gauge "0" frame Parker DH grade was converted from a pistol grip to a straight grip stock.  This required fabrication of a new triggerguard utilizing the original guard bow with a new long tang welded on, shaped, polished and engraved to match the original pattern.  The triggerguard was then finished and aged to match the rest of the gun's metal condition.  The customer requested a Parker hard rubber Dog's Head buttplate be installed. All of the other D grade details were recreated including carved tear drops, D pattern checkering and a silver shield inlay.  The original forend was retained but the checkering was recut to correct a poorly done attempt in the past.
