No serial numbers stamped in the wood?

Brian, if it is original it is at least an AAHE! Higher than a CHE! Bobby

Brian, it's probably not original, original Parker beaver-tail forends have a draw bolt from the front of the wood like an L C Smith. It is worth what you can get for it, the checkering style is for a very high grade gun.

Doesn't look original to me, a nice replacement or up grade but not factory.

According to The Parker Story, page 146, second column, Parker
Bros. .410-bore beavertails didn't have the reinforcing bolt found on larger bore beavertails. In that a single AHE is the highest grade known Parker Bros. .410-bore, this forearm likely came off an after-market upgrade.

The actual name for the "bolt in the fore end is called a "Recoil Rod" put on beavertail fore ends for trap guns. Helped the recoil from jarring the fore end loose, but not put on all beavertail fore ends in the L.C. Smith line of guns.

I have owned three Parkers with factory beavertails. One skeet and two field models and they all had the bolt. Never seen a 410. Bobby

The Parker .410 does not have the reinforcing screw but the pictured forend does not resemble any factory forend, and the inletting looks a bit rough for high grade Parker or Remington work. I can't imagine why anyone would discard or replace it unless the inletting did not meet the approval of the stockmaker or customer.
