He has about twenty stocks similar to the photo semi inletted. The checkering flair is from the seventies. The light engraving and inlay is most likely done by the late Gino Cargnel of Belgium. I sold a similar rifle a while back with similar gold inlay on the floor plate. Gino lived in L.A at the time and was used frequently in embellishing the customs. I have a Parker Invincible that has the full and I mean full custom engraving by him. It is owned by my gunmaker friend Freddy Brunner. He doesn’t do texting or emails. If you like, pm me and I will forward you his contact information. Print a few copies and mail to him, he’ll verify it.
