That’s the “Folsom Trap Gun” which, except for the special butt plate, are identical to the standard trap guns made by Parker Bros. So, in answer to the question, it’s just marketing by Folsom’s.
Just noticed the very good explanation by Drew.
Again, aside from the special butt plate, the only differences are the unusual barrel lengths on the specially ordered guns by Folsoms. These barrel lengths and stock dimensions could have been ordered by anyone at that time.
