Are those his initials on the floor plate? CJF I doubt your wife’s uncle did this to this gun as a collector. Most likely he bought it as is. I wonder what the original stock ended up looking like before it was replaced. I saw a Parker with tacks driven into the stock to decorate it and a compass inlet in the stock. Not a good look for a graded Parker. At least it’s not touched.
I see this like a person finding a 65 Mustang in nice condition and having fins added to the rear end or plush carpet on the dash. But what becomes a rare gun at some point in time was just a old used gun. I hope this gun sells to person willing and interested in restoring it a bit more like original.
